The new site went live on Cambrient Contentsuite (CCS) on February 5 and allows Moneyweb to manage all its content, pages and functionality on the website. This includes rich content creation tools, page rendering, caching, system administration and reporting.

“The CCS is a robust, enterprise-scale content management system serving thousands of page impressions an hour, with simple, easy-to-use content publishing and management tools,” says Jarred Cinman, software director of Cambrient. “This brings Moneyweb up to date with current CMS technology and enables the company to run a smooth, efficient and up-to-the minute news content site.”

Listed on the JSE, Moneyweb Holdings is an integrated media company focused on providing investment information. Moneyweb, the company’s local flagship, provides online financial news content. Marketingweb and international brand Mineweb.com are sub-sectors operating under the Moneyweb brand. The company also produces Moneyweb Power Hour, an hour-long radio broadcast that takes place every weekday.

The CCS system took four months to build and implement. It includes Really Simple Syndication (RSS) engine that was built into Cambrient’s system and allows subscriptions to Moneyweb’s latest published content via RSS feeds. A new search engine was also deployed allowing faster searches through large content sizes.

“No deal in the history of our business has more significantly shown that we are a competitive CMS provider,” says Kevin Lourens, CEO of Cambrient. “To be entrusted with the technology platform behind Moneyweb is, we believe, an enormous achievement and the culmination of nearly five years of development and growth.

“It’s only the beginning,” adds Lourens. “We have many exciting ideas for the future developments of Moneyweb’s CMS, which will extend their online business offerings in various ways made possible by the flexibility of the CCS.”

There are now more than 30 major installations of Cambrient Contentsuite, including corporate intranets for MTN, Nedbank and Pick 'n Pay, and apart from Moneyweb, websites for Appletiser, Bond Exchange of South Africa and Webber Wentzel Bowens.
