EPiServer CMS is a Web content management system. EPiServer CMS is used to manage information on an Intranet, Extranet or a public Website. With EPiServer all co-workers can create and update the organization's website from a Web browser [http://www.episerver.com/en/Start_page/Experience-EPiServer/Technology2/System-Requirements/ Requirements] without any previous knowledge about creating web pages. It can be compared with ordinary word processing. EPiServer CMS is based on Microsoft's .NET-technology. EPiServer's partners adapt the framework and create templates and add-on modules.

Partners

Sales are facilitated through their partner network, comprising over two hundred partners around the world, supplying total solutions in services, support and training to the customer.

EPiServer's objective of the partner strategy is to increase the market presence and expand sales through partners. With the EPiServer platform, partners can also create a unique profile by building their own modules and functions that are specialized for different branches or groups. With this,EPiServer AB has another role, where we mainly concentrate on the further development of the platform, and where the primary customer contact is handled by the partner.
