TYPO3 recognized as Digital Public Good

News TYPO3

TYPO3 has now been officially recognized as a “Digital Public Good” and thus joins a strong community - alongside well-known platforms such as Wikipedia, OpenStreetMap and Mastodon.

Digital public goods are digital products that are freely accessible, open source and geared towards the common good. They strengthen digital sovereignty, promote innovation and reduce dependencies - aspects that are becoming increasingly important not only for the public sector, but also for companies in the current global situation.

TYPO3 as Digital Public Good

The recognition by the Digital Public Goods Alliance (DPGA) highlights TYPO3 as one of the few CMSs that meet the strict criteria: It is open source, freely accessible, data protection compliant and technologically independent. The ratification not only strengthens the TYPO3 community, but also underlines the importance of the system as a sustainable, trustworthy solution.

Importance for our customers

Für öffentliche Einrichtungen ist TYPO3 schon lägst der Quasi-Standard (vgl. auch Government Site Builder). Aber auch für Unternehmen ist die Entscheidung für Open Source längst mehr als eine technische Frage: Sie ist eine strategische! TYPO3 bietet hier klare Vorteile: hohe Sicherheit, langfristige Stabilität, keine Lizenzkosten und Unabhängigkeit von einzelnen Anbietern (z.B. in den USA).
