Comparative Analysis of Open Source Content Management Systems
IEEE International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Computing Research
In the past decade, the effect of internet usage on businesses, has increased rapidly, and new technologies have increased business productivity by many folds. By using a content management systems (CMSs), small scale businesses with restrained budgets need not to be concerned about hiring professional programmers to put their businesses online through a website. A CMS is a software that keeps track of every piece of content on a website, without requiring any technical skills or knowledge of management. This paper compares seven CMSs,namely Alfresco, Typo3, Dotnetnuke, Drupal, Joomla, Wordpress and Plone on the dimensions namely, system requirements,performance, security, built-in features, support and management.We have chosen these seven CMSs based on their e-commerce market share, google page rank, brand strength and rate of adoption.

        Aakanksha is a fantastic product designer and I was very fortunate to work with her at Uber. She’s a great problem solver who effectively uses feedback loops and rapid iteration to quickly make impact with her UX skills. At Uber, Aakanksha owned design for large, long-term redesign projects as well as fast product experiments. She’s great at juggling multiple projects and shifting priorities. And she’s always been a vocal advocate for our customers. Aakanksha has made a ton of impact in improving customer care at Uber. You want her on your team!

        Out of gazillions neuron impulses only few of it becomes our memory, that is what I can say about working with Aakanksha. In span of two month of co-working, I realized how amicable and detailed oriented she is along with her inquisitive mind. The quality of questions from her was commendable. Today, I can easily fathom the amount of effort she used to put in background, as coming up with those kind of questions is not an easy thing in research. 

tl;dr, If you are dreaming of a awesome team, have her!
