Open source content management built on .NET?
October 02, 2008
Hungary-based software developer Sense/Net has launched Sense/Net 6.0, an open source version of its portal builder and enterprise content management tool, which it claims is the first open source content management system built on Microsoft .NET.
“We want to challenge the status quo with Sense/Net 6.0,” said Sense/Net co-founder Tamas Biro. “Microsoft is here to stay but that doesn’t mean companies can’t take advantage of all that open source has to offer.”
“We’ve moved beyond credible alternatives,” Biro added. “Sense/Net 6.0 represents the best of both worlds. We build on Microsoft’s .NET platform but at the same time we challenge their content management tool, SharePoint.

The company claims it has invested 20,000 “man hours” and €1 million of hard cash in the new product. It says it has already recruited 300 beta testers from 28 countries and created €400,000 in pre-release revenue.
“The Google generation wants more flexibility from their applications,” said Biro, “but they still want to run stable computing environments. As a result, a hybrid approach to open source – where it can co-exist with proprietary platforms – will be an important step towards flexible IT.”
In its native Hungary Sense/Net is responsible for high-profile websites including E.ON, the National Bank and the Prime Minister’s Office. It has managed the video content for the website of Hungary’s first ever reality TV show, The Bar, as well as the Hungarian series of Big Brother.
In the open source ECM space this blog has also covered Nuxeo in the past. Sense/Net, meanwhile, can be found here.
