Australian web software vendor Elcom is on a recruitment drive for resellers of its modular enterprise content management systems.

The company already has 15 resellers on its books and hopes to sign 60 by June 2010, said John Anstey, Elcom's CEO.

The package has 40 modules covering e-commerce, website, intranet, enterprise search, partner portal, training and induction.

Anstey said that the days of companies building bespoke websites, intranets and portals were gone.

Modular systems like Elcom's let companies focus on the content rather than the structure itself.

"They don't have to build the house, they just say what colour we are going to paint it," said Anstey.

An out-of-the-box package eliminated common problems with custom sites, added Anstey.

"The minute you go live two things happen; one, they will find a bug and two, they will want to change it."

Elcom has a number of high profile customers, including the federal trade agency Austrade and Hyundai.

The most popular modules are intranet and websites, and companies can decide to add more modules and pay incremental licences as needed.

Unlike email lists, portals always displayed the most current information and could track activity - a big winner for government departments which need accountability.

Portals record which users have downloaded files and how long they spent looking at a page.
