For release in November 2010, the Squiz Suite incorporates a content management system, innovative analytics capabilities, highly effective search and a robust platform for integrating applications and data.

For MySource Matrix users, the Squiz Suite features new products to enhance and extend your MySource Matrix system, which together create an exciting open source web experience management platform.

MySource Matrix is pivotal to the suite, and will be rebranded as ‘Squiz Matrix’. The new products will be aired at both the Squiz International User Conference on 20th-22nd October in Melbourne, and the Squiz NZ User Conference in Wellington on November 19.

At launch, the Squiz Suite will comprise the following components:

• Squiz CMS - the exciting new user-friendly interface for editing and publishing content within the Squiz Suite, featuring  true inline editing, context sensitive help and powerful collaboration features.
• Squiz Analytics - providing innovative tools to help you optimise site content. Set goals and test the results using fully integrated and simple to use A/B/C testing. Integrates with Google Analytics, allowing you to leverage the functionality you already value.
• Squiz Search - utilising the Funnelback search engine to deliver high quality search results, contextual navigation and search based applications.

According to John-Paul Syriatowicz, Squiz global MD:

“One of the inherent beauties of the open source business model is how close it keeps us to our customers. We know the challenges they face over the coming years go beyond managing web content. They need to engage prospects, customers and employees using increasingly sophisticated websites, intranets and online applications. The Squiz Suite enables them to create, manage and optimise these engagements using one, globally supported platform.”
