populus
populus is a sophisticated web publishing solution that has been developed over the last seven years, and is in use, or has been used, by government organisations and some of Australia leading companies such as Panasonic, The Hunter Central Rivers Catchment Management Authority, John Swire and Sons, and the Australian Conservation Foundation.
Moreover, populus has some of the best antecedents possible having been initially conceived and developed by the same team that developed and managed the interactive website and community for the Big Brother television event. The learnings from publishing content in a high pressure 24/7 publishing environment with a member base of over 300,000 users and daily page impressions in excess of 1 million have found expression in populus; its publishing methodology and approach to social engagement.
Why use populus?
There are a number of benefits to working with (i)mobius and the populus platform:
- out of the box: we’ve been developing populus for over seven years now, and by creating your website using populus you are getting the distilled benefit of seven years development at a tiny fraction of the cost than if you were to build a custom solution.
- populus is continually enhanced: (i)mobius is continually enhancing the populus platform, in response to specific client briefs and in response to developments in digital trends and evolving technology. This continuous enhancement is available to you through the version upgrade process. Moreover, we control the development process. Unlike in the case of open source products, you are close to the development team and can have direct input into the product development path.
- populus is modular: populus includes a large range of components which can all be implemented independently, which means that your site can grow as your business grows.
- populus software is a service: this means that we take care of everything – hosting, software maintenance, and application support. populus is hosted in a professional hosting environment here in Australia to ensure top performance.
- populus is customisable: unlike many CMS products, your populus website can be customised to your particular business needs. We will do this either by enhancing the core code or by appending custom code for your site only. And because we’ve built it from the ground up we know how to change it cost effectively.
