Today Joomlatools and Alfresco announced the launch of the "Alfresco:Joomla integration module" which allows organizations running Joomla-based web sites to access Alfresco's open source content management repository.

This integration allows you to access the powerfull back-end repository services of Alfresco, ensuring security, compliance and audibility. Users will be able to more effectively manage, preview and track increasing volumes of content and digital assets on collaborative Joomla web sites using Alfresco's content library.

Although several e-Commerce solutions are available for Joomla, none of them seem to meet the powerful features of the open source Magento eCommerce Platform.

As a rule of thumb, I would advise you to use a software solution for what it is intended to. Go Joomla if you want to create and maintain a web site with ease, go Magento in case you need a fully fledged webshop. And here is exactly where issues may arise: you might need a shopping cart solution in Joomla or you may need additional content management features in a Magento store. Here is where MageBridge comes in!

For most of us, our websites are a key element to our business. Either being the business itself, or acting as the storefront to the Internet, they provide a significant added value. The last thing any web site owner want is to see their site defaced, damaged or even lost. Dangers lurk everywhere. From a simple human error in site administration to malicious activity and from hardware failure to natural disasters, no web server is the bulletproof vault we’d like it to be.

While nobody expects a catastrophe to hit his site, a good deal of precaution is required. It’s pretty much the same rationale as in wearing a seatbelt while driving; you don’t expect to crash, but if you do you most certainly want to evade the incident unharmed. The web site equivalent to a safety belt is none other than backup.
