We're pleased to announce the release of a little module we wrote for the Driving Force project, Node to Word. We always post back modules whenever we can and this time is no exception.

We are delighted to announce we have just been appointed to build a new Drupal website for the research division of Economist Group, the Economist Intelligence Unit. We're extremely happy to win this business, it's going to be a fantastic website and we can't wait to get planning on Monday. So much to do, but it's a great challenge and a real step forwards for EIU too.

What a great way to start the weekend!

The coming financial year marks a big push for CMS Professionals. We really want to make some noise in 2010/2011 and we're looking for people now to help us grow our business and increase our output. We've just started a new Jobs section, which you can see here:

It was some time ago one of our clients, Jonathan at Economist Conferences, expressed an interested in integrating his Drupal website with LinkedIn. At the time he came up with the plan LinkedIn had not yet released their API, but now they have. So the time came for us to revisit the options.

Last week we were very busy supporting a new system in its first week of live production use. We're pleased to say the launch was a roaring success. Just about as smooth as the launch of a complicated article publishing system could be.

We've got a few clients in the publishing world already, but we've gone one further. We're pleased to announce we are partnering with the Drupal design specialists, Mark Boulton Design, to work on a new project for TSL Education.

Several months ago we ran a brief but extremely popular campaign to get some cash flow going. We offered a 10% discount on our already competitive development rates to clients who pay within the 30 day terms of our invoice. Well, it was such a success we're going to run it again!

If you have a small Drupal job, something that will take about a week, tops, you want a top notch job doing but you have a strict budget, give us a call. If you do so before the end of January 2010 then we will knock 10% off your invoice if you pay within 30 days of issue. Good for us, good for you!

As Acquia Silver Partners, we got a sneak preview of the up-coming Drupal 7 feature being built by the guys and gals at Acquia, Drupal Gardens. Before you go any further, check out the demo:

Neat, huh?

It's high time CMS Professionals had its own blog. We do so much work people would be interested in, and we also want a forum where we can talk about what we're doing commercially. We have, since we opened, published a feed from the blog of our founder, Greg Harvey, and we will continue to do so, but this is different.

Greg doesn't use his blog to talk about his business - indeed, he remains firmly against doing so. His blog is not commercial. It's personal and he wants it to stay that way. Quite right too!
