Hippo CMS
What Is It?
Hippo represents the next wave in content and web experience management. A CMS system built on Java and open standards, Hippo uses structured content components and flexible page templates instead of web pages. This innovative approach speeds page creation and improves efficiency by allowing authors to reuse content across channels. Building on their success in Europe, Hippo is now seeing strong adoption in North America and is powering some of the world’s most innovative brands, including MailChimp, Conde Nast, CouchBase, Hitachi and more.
WHY HIPPO?
Whether earned or owned, domestic or international, desktop or mobile, Hippo empowers authors to create and reuse dynamic, personalized content across the customer journey. Hippo also stands out with its technological flexibility and extensibility. Its speed and minimalist framework remove runtime overhead common with enterprise CMS systems, without sacrificing features. And because Hippo is open-source, developers have a deep and active community to work with. In short, Hippo makes it possible to deliver cross-channel, content-rich, and in-context experiences globally!
