Since we’re sure the added French and German language packs to Bitrix Site Manager earlier this month got you all ridiculously excited, you’d better brace yourselves because hot on the tails of that update is their new Social Network Module.

The Professional Edition of Bitrix Site Manager just got an added advantage — two new language packs.

French and German have now been added to Bitrix Site Manager by way of collaboration. Bitrix worked with Erne Consulting AG and Stark-iT to bring the new versions of Site Manager to market.

Erne Consulting is a customer of Bitrix. Their primary language — French — was not available when they selected the Web CMS for their own portal. So they went to work translating it, obviously with the assistance of Bitrix because now it’s available in French to all customers.

The same resolution came about for the German version of the Web CMS. This time through the efforts of Start-iT, a Bitrix partner. They independently translated both the front-end and back-end of Site Manager. “Our extensive work on the localization will continue to keep the German pack up-to-date,” said Igor Stark, CEO of Stark-iT.

You can test the new languages in the Virtual Lab or download a trial. These language packs apply to the latest version of Site Manager — version 7 — just released in July.

Web CMS vendor Bitrix announced new editions of Bitrix Site Manager for managing enterprise portals, media portals, large e-stores and other sites with high traffic or content volume.

You can now choose from the Bitrix Site Manager Premium or Ultimate Editions — both touted as “robust and proven technology frameworks.”

Microsoft Gold that is. Yes Bitrix Systems, provider of the Web Content Management System Bitrix Site Manager, has been made Gold Certified Partner with competencies in ISV/Software Solutions. They have clearly demonstrated their capabilities in portal and content management technology by receiving Microsoft’s highest certification, but what will you get out of it?

Just like that certain city that never sleeps, Bitrix hardly takes a break. Shortly after the recent release of a new version of its Site Manager, Bitrix is in the news again. This time, the CMS vendor announces the addition of Media Player to its WCM platform, which will enable customers to embed video and audio streams into their web sites.

Not happy to sit idle, Bitrix has released another new version of it’s Site Manager Content Management System. Version 7 promises even more Web 2.0 capabilities and boasts a multi-lingual platform that is stable and secure.

It’s only been 7 months since Bitrix released it’s last version of Site Manager CMS, so these guys are on a roll continuing the expansion of their Web 2.0 empire. The newest version just released - Site Manager CMS v6.5 - adds even more Web 2.0 tools to the ever increasing functionality of the CMS.

Bitrix has announced a Partner Certification Program designed to help customers choose the best suppliers and certified specialists to implement its Bitrix Site Manager project.

Customers can make decisions with the help of a partner directory housed on the Bitrix site that ranks certified partners according to partner levels and points, updated daily.

The three partner levels include Business, Certified and Gold Certified. Rankings will reflect level, the number of certified specialists, projects and company professional skills.

Partners can also gain points that contribute to upgrades to higher partner levels. Points can be attained by participating in various activities, including “opening Web projects based on Bitrix Site Manager, conducting advertising campaigns, holding seminars, customers training, and localizing the product interface.”

More information about the certification program and partner levels can be found at the Bitrix website.

Knowing how quickly things change in the Web 2.0 world, Bitrix needed only six months after the release of Bitrix Site Manager version 5.1 to make the next full version of its flagship web content management system available to the public.
