1 EZ PLATFORM DESIGN AND DEVELOP CONTENT-DRIVEN WEBSITES AND APPLICATIONS

2 WANT TO BUILD CONTENT-RICH WEBSITES AND APPS BETTER, FASTER AND EASIER? ez gives you modern architecture and flexibility so you can customize, extend and scale your sites and apps with ease. Built on top of the Symfony full-stack framework, our new open source CMS ez Platform enables you to tailor your content model and distribute your content however you like. Do You Want Power and Simplicity? Take control of your content: Seamlessly deliver content on your site or app and use our fully featured REST API to integrate content from apps or deliver Content as a Service. Take advantage of Symfony, the leading PHP framework: Develop in a very similar way to pure Symfony, with the same templating system, Twig, the same library for deployment and version dependency, Composer, and many other Symfony bundles and components. Reduce the cost of ownership: Less custom development means a friendlier bottom line, and more time to innovate on top of a trusted open source platform. Speed up time-to-market: Developers who use Symfony can start customizing and extending ez Platform right out of the gate. New to Symfony? You have plenty to gain. Start with clean code: ez carries a substantially low level of technical debt compared to many other CMSs.

6 BUT WHY CHOOSE EZ OVER ANOTHER SYMFONY-BASED CMS? This is an important question every PHP developer should ask before selecting a CMS. Symfony-based applications either integrate Symfony components or Symfony integrates the application. More than three years ago, ez chose the second solution, Symfony full stack. By using Symfony2 in its complete form, ez is fully compatible with any projects or plugins developed using the Symfony framework. An example of this comes from one of our partners Netgen, who integrated the Symfony-based e-commerce solution Sylius into ez. CUSTOM PROJECT EXISTING BUNDLE PLATFORM SYMFONY 2 FULL STACK Other CMSs have adopted the Symfony framework, but many of them have taken a different approach. Drupal 8, for example, incorporates Symfony2 components, such as HttpFoundation and Routing, but not the complete stack. When Symfony isn t used in its entirety, some components of an existing bundle may be missing or not completely compatible with the CMS. This limits the potential of combining certain CMSs with custom Symfony development. We are convinced that the ez/symfony pairing is the best possible solution for the CMS market. The feedback from projects and major accounts reinforces our opinion. - Gilles Guirand, CTO of Kaliop
