Any known orchard cms case studies ?

Question

Hi,

We're looking into using orchard cms for a project. I know the CMS hasn't been around for a long time, but I was wondering if there were any known high profile and successful case studies using orchard cms or its predecessor Oxite ?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Yes, it's extremely early for that as far as Orchard is concerned. There are a few sites using it but nothing "high-profile". Nor should there be at this point. It's a little different for Oxite, which has been running some pretty high profile sites such as the Mix site and others around the people doing Channel 9. It hasn't been made into a case study that I know of though.

Answer 2

Bath Spa implemented Orchard for both their registration and housing booking systems.

• http://housing.bathspa.ac.uk

I think they are also due to roll out the external site in Orchard too at some point.

Granted the sites are not 'high profile' in techie circles, but for a poly tech university in the UK to adopt open source, that's quite a big thing for them.
