Welcome to our 2010 kick-off newsletter and blog. We will keep you informed on events going on it IT, content management, open source solutions, customer service news plus other creative ideas involving business and technology.
The world today is divided into open source solutions and proprietary systems. Several of the major benefits of open source include lower initial costs (helping your IT grow with you as you need), flexibility (no rules to what you have to do and when), scalability (growing with functionality and usage according to your rules not someone else’s), and control (you are not tied to one person or provider for support). The moral of the story is that open source works with you.
For the third time, Arc Technology Group will be the lead sponsor of an conference for the open source content management system (CMS) community to be hosted by the CMS Association.
CMS Expo 2009 will take place April 29 - May 1, 2009, in Evanston.
Day 1 at cmsExpo (December 4) was filled with fantastic sessions covering everything from SEO techniques, theme development and some very serious advanced component development. The day's sessions were followed with a robust expert panel and finally the 2008 CMSAwards Banquet. Seven awards were presented:
Best Joomla-Powered Retail Website: www.innovative-baby.com by The Incite Group
Arc Technology Group is in Denver and getting ready to meet hundreds of people in the Joomla economy. Day 0 included setting up our booth, some shenanigns and the speakers' dinner.

We are intensively involved in search engine optimization (SEO) and using the Joomla CMS to achieve SEO, and we will talk with anyone who will listen about the fine points of good coding for SEO.
But something occurred to me this morning: I can't stress enough that two or three basic features of the Joomla CMS make SEO, especially the ongoing management of SEO, much, much smoother
