Partnership with Magnolia

Aperto has been implementing Magnolia CMS solutions since 2006. As a certified partner of Magnolia, Aperto was involved in developing Magnolia CMS 4.0, a major release. In developing the Standard Templating Kit (STK) further, Apertocontinues to support the Magnolia CMS Community.

In-depth Magnolia Expertise

After gathering experience from over 20 successful projects, Aperto is an ideal partner to implementing complex Magnolia projects - based on either the Community or Enterprise Edition.

One of Aperto's impressive Magnolia projects is the customer portal of DeutschlandCard (Bertelsmann Group), where Aperto implemented complex linkages to CRM and e-commerce systems.  Other successful Magnolia projects include EADS (European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company), Siemens and Frankfurt School of Finance.

Co-developing the Standard Templating Kit

Aperto jointly developed the Standard Templating Kit (STK) with Magnolia International Ltd. It was first released for Magnolia 4.0 and got enhanced alongside the 4.1 release. The STK provides best-practice templates and an extensive set of ready-made functionality that can easily be extended for custom designs and content output. Aperto continues to contribute development to the Magnolia CMS Community.

Benefits of the Partnership

Because of the innovative combination of Magnolia and the Standard Templating Kit, Aperto is able to develop complex Websites more efficiently and in shorter time spans. With Magnolia CMS, Aperto developers can spend more time for individual features, innovative designs and exciting content. The reliable technical support and the professional training programs of Magnolia make it easier to complete projects on time and within budget. 

The partnership with Aperto has proven successful on many levels. Our corporate cultures match very well. Our combined expertise allows us to quickly identify new business opportunities and win new clients. While working with Aperto, we have gained valuable contributions and insight which impacted our product roadmap, eventually leading to the joint development of Magnolia's Standard Templating Kit.
