Preside

The FOSS Enterprise Application Platform

Me me me!

• Borderline "millenial"
• Like making bread (but not very good at it)
• Much better at things that don't exist in the real physical world

A very brief history

• Pre-2014, PresideCMS a commercial product used at Pixl8
• CFCamp 2014, we show Preside progress as an open source platform
• CFCamp 2015, we run some free training and are rapidly expanding our portfolio of work on the platform
• PresideCon 2016, we release 10.7, over 30 clients on the platform at Pixl8 + multiple external teams starting to use it

The turning point

Why Open Source?

The last three years?

• 8 major releases
• > 40 total releases

How we see ourselves

A growing competitor for mid to large-scale commercial content platforms; open sourced. We work openly and with integrity to create a platform for and with our community.

 

 

Our mission

To build an out-of-box web application foundation that does as much of the laborious, hard and overlooked work for you, accelerating teams as they focus on unique requirements.

 

To build a community and platform that leads by example; that is a joy to use, a joy to work with and a joy to participate in.

Our vision

Preside solving complex needs for a wide breadth of industries and communities. A well-known name founded on openness and excellence.
