Nuxeo Connect: The Core Support Service
Nuxeo Connect is a subscription service delivered toNuxeo's customers,providing maintenance and support for Nuxeo'sEnterprise CMSsoftware.
The Nuxeo Services Offering for Paying Customers
It includes such usuals as service levelagreements, access to certified patches, configuration, monitoring and managementtools, as well as product updates. Like most vendors, open source or not, Nuxeo offers premium 24/7 support levels as part of NuxeoConnect.
Introducing Nuxeo Studio
Nuxeo Studio is a new configuration and customization environment for the Nuxeo open source Enterprise CMS. It is being made available as a part of the Nuxeo Connect subscription service. The company asserts that Studio is all about trimming the development time associated with implementing a Nuxeo-based document management application.
The new offering also clearly serves as an additional carrot, luring non-paying users of Nuxeo's open source software into the fold of paying customers. This game of carrots and sticks is one of the most important aspects of the commercial open source business model. Nuxeo uses a single repository model for managing their source code. So paying and non-paying customers all have access to the same source code. By offering ancillary tools via a subscription SaaS model, commercial open source vendors can increase both the perceived and real value of their commercial support offerings.
Highlights of Nuxeo Studio
In essence, NuxeoStudio is a web-based administrative tool for Nuxeo Enterprise Platform (Nuxeo EP) and packaged applications, such as Nuxeo Document Management (Nuxeo DM). It can be used for easiercustomizationsof Nuxeo ECM and DM platforms without much developerinvolvement.

A Busy Start to 2010
Paris-based Nuxeo had a strong finish to 2009 and has so far had a good start to 2010. They recently added a Digital Asset Management product to their offering, they are benefiting from one of their partner's efforts, delivering an IBM-to-Nuxeo migration tool, and just a few days ago they released an updated version of their Apache Chemistry CMIS implementation.
