The digital landscape is constantly changing - but not every company can or wants to rebuild its systems every few years. EGOCMS stands for a CMS that grows with you: continuously evolving, backwards-compatible and always up to date.
Our vision for 2026 is clear: a CMS that continues to evolve, respects your existing processes and leaves you in control. This keeps your digital infrastructure stable, secure and future-proof.
Our principles: Innovation without risk
1. continuous further development - without disruptive changes
We focus on gradual improvements that respect your workflows and protect your investments.
Your benefits 2026:
- Backwards compatibility as standard: every update guarantees the full functionality of your EGOCMS project.
- Modular updates: New features can be activated individually. You decide when and how you use them.
- Rolling releases: Since version 22, you receive continuous updates (e.g. currently version 25.4.1), which always keep your systems up to date - without interruptions. (Version 18 also still receives updates, last update 3 April 2025)
"There are no radical changes at EGOCMS. Every further development is a step forward - but never at the expense of stability."
2 AI as a tool - self-determined and data sovereign
Artificial intelligence is revolutionising content management - but only if you remain in control. That's why we offer self-hosted LLM solutions, as already successfully used by Friedrich Schiller University Jena.
Your advantages in 2026:
- Modular AI plugins: only use AI where you need it - for captions, chatbots or content suggestions.
- Data protection by design: All AI features are optional and run on your own servers, without dependence on external providers. We host LLMs directly at EGOTEC or support you with self-hosting as part of our lalamo.cloud project.
- No dependencies: You decide whether and how you use AI - without external cloud services.
- AI-supported media optimisation (e.g. transcription, subtitling, accessibility).
"AI should serve you, not the other way round."

3. security that thinks for itself
Security is not a one-off project, but an ongoing process.
Your advantages in 2026:
- Automatic security updates without manual effort.
- Long-term support commitments for older versions (e.g. current update of version 18 from 3 April 2025, from version 22 rolling release, i.e. the current update of version 22 is the current version 25.4.1).
- Certified infrastructure (ISO 27001), which we adapt to new threats. E.g. fast geoblocking or activation of an upstream captcha in the event of an attack, automatic throttling of bot crawling under high load and much more.
"Your data is safe with us."
4. community & open source: shaping the future together
EGOCMS has been an open source project since the beginning of 2025. We will take the next step in 2026
Your benefits in 2026:
- Public feature request process: you help decide which functions will be developed next. Your voice counts!
"EGOCMS is not developed in secret, but in dialogue with you."
5. integration that lasts
Your advantages in 2026:
- Stable APIs: once connected, systems (e.g. shop, CRM) continue to function even after updates.
- Documented interfaces: No surprising changes that require adjustments.
"EGOCMS is not a silo, but a central hub in your digital ecosystem."
