Lyris News & Articles

Hot Banana (news, site) from Lyris signs up a bunch of resellers to improve its presence in the CMS market.

We were impressed with Hot Banana when we reviewed it last year, rating it very highly in website optimization and multi-lingual support. We recommended it to "those who run small and medium size organizations, for whom marketing and branding is a priority, and for whom ease of use is important."

Buoyed by that success, the company has spent the time garnering new partners left, right and center. Among those signing up to join in the party are Foxhollow Technologies, Xtent and Tzero Technologies. Each has a raft of clients who will be moved over to Hot Banana, to take advantage of the flexibility provided by the web content management system.

The announcement was made at ad:tech Chicago, where brand performance and digital marketing are hot topics.

It’s been a big week for product updates, and we’re not done yet. Lyris, AKA the company formerly known as J.L. Halsey, has announced the release of Hot Banana 5.7, an update to the popular and critically acclaimed web content management solution; and the thing that forms the meaty core of the company’s Lyris HQ integrated marketing platform.

It’s all about Gilbane this week, of course. The latest news from the Boston conference relates to Hot Banana’s Web CMS, which topped the poll for Overall Ease of Use in Gilbane’s “Survey on Web Content Management User Experience.”

Singer songwriter Sheryl Crow once said that “a change would do you good”, and it seems that the folks at J.L Halsey took this advice to heart.
