March 31, 2006

The Alkacon OpenCms Enterprise Extensions (also called OCEE) are a commercial extension for OpenCms 6. Alkacon OCEE adds features to OpenCms that are required for running OpenCms in a medium or large Enterprise, where data consistency, security and failover are highly important.

The Alkacon OpenCms Enterprise Extensions are available as a licensed software product from Alkacon Software GmbH, the company responsible for most of the development of the open source core OpenCms system.
