Join us for an evening of fresh perspectives on Content Management Systems beyond the WordPress bubble. This Meetup is all about broadening horizons. Looking at how different CMS approach common problems, what they do particularly well (or not so well), and what we as WordPress professionals can learn from them. Instead of chasing a single “best CMS,” we’ll explore why different projects need different tools and how ideas from other ecosystems can inspire better solutions in our daily WordPress work. Expect practical insights, honest comparisons, and plenty of room for discussion. 🕡 **18:30 live**, SAE Vienna, Kaisersaal ⏱️ **18:45 – Thomas Kräftner** **“An Inspirational Tour Through Other CMS”** The web is as diverse as the Content Management Systems behind it. Rather than attempting yet another exhaustive CMS comparison or ranking, Thomas takes a more pragmatic and refreshing approach: a curated tour through selected aspects, strengths, and weaknesses of different systems. In this fast-paced “speed run,” we’ll look at WordPress, Drupal, Neos, and Kirby, each representing different philosophies and solutions to familiar challenges. Along the way, Thomas highlights what we can take back into our own WordPress projects. The talk is intentionally subjective and designed to spark discussion, so bring your own experiences and opinions from the CMS world. Slides: [https://kraftner.com/talks/cms-streifzug/](https://kraftner.com/talks/cms-streifzug/) [Thomas Kräftner](https://kraftner.com/) is a freelance web developer with 18+ years of professional experience and a strong focus on WordPress. With a background in Information Design, he combines technical expertise with a deep understanding of content, accessibility, and visual clarity. Active in the WordPress community in Vienna, Thomas has spoken at WordCamps and previously co-organized both the WP Vienna Meetup and WordCamp Vienna. ⏱️ **19:30 – Gernot Ploiner** **TYPO3: A Practical Introduction to an Enterprise-Ready CMS** With more than 20 years of hands-on experience, [Gernot](https://www.webprofil.at) introduces TYPO3 as a powerful and reliable CMS for long-term, scalable web projects. He explains why TYPO3 is often the CMS of choice for enterprise environments and complex requirements. The talk covers key strengths such as the dedicated TYPO3 Security Team, advanced multilingual features, editorial workflows with workspaces, strong performance, and an editor-friendly backend. From a developer’s perspective, Gernot also gives insights into modern TYPO3 development: local setups with DDEV, clean object-oriented architectures using Extbase, Symfony-based concepts, and building custom extensions for professional projects. Whether you’re a WordPress developer, agency owner, or simply curious about how other CMS solve familiar problems, this Meetup will give you new ideas, useful comparisons, and plenty of inspiration—plus good conversations with fellow web folks.

Ausschreibungen sind ein zentraler und oft unterschätzter Bestandteil professioneller Requirements-Arbeit. Ausschreibungen verbinden fachliche Anforderungen, rechtliche Rahmenbedingungen und wirtschaftliche Interessen. Und entscheiden nicht selten über den Erfolg ganzer Projekte. In diesem Meetup beleuchten wir Ausschreibungen aus **drei komplementären Perspektiven**: 👉 aus Sicht des Auftraggebers, 👉 des Bieters und 👉 des Software-Herstellers, der beide Welten zusammenbringen will. 🔹 **Speaker 1** – Simon Gemel (Business Analyst) gibt Einblicke aus erster Hand in die Erstellung und Begleitung einer Ausschreibung für das Parlament: Wie entstehen Anforderungen in diesem Kontext? Welche Herausforderungen gibt es auf Auftraggeberseite und was macht eine gute Ausschreibung wirklich aus? 🔹 **Speaker 2** – Armin Fürst ([TechTalk](https://techtalk.at/)) bringt die Perspektive eines Unternehmens ein, das regelmäßig an Ausschreibungen mit dem klaren Ziel teilnimmt, diese zu gewinnen: Worauf achten Bieter? Wo gehen Anforderungen oft verloren? Und wie unterscheiden sich „formal korrekt“ und „inhaltlich überzeugend“? 🔹 **Speaker 3** – Gerhard Hipfinger ([openFORCE](https://openforce.com/)) stellt eine Software-Lösung vor, die genau an dieser Schnittstelle ansetzt: Wie kann intelligentes Matchmaking zwischen Anforderungen und Angeboten Auftraggeber und Anbieter gleichermaßen unterstützen und Reibungsverluste reduzieren? 👉 Das Meetup richtet sich an **Business Analysten, Requirements Engineers, Product Owner, Architekten, Auftraggeber, Juristen und alle**, die Anforderungen formulieren, bewerten oder in Ausschreibungen damit arbeiten. Freut euch auf **Praxisberichte, unterschiedliche Blickwinkel und konkrete Learnings** und für Diskussion und Austausch mit der BA-Community. 🕑 **Agenda** 👉 Einlass ab 17:30 👉 Start der Vorträge um 18:00 🙌 **Über unseren Sponsor…** Der Veranstaltungsort wird von **[TechTalk](https://techtalk.at/)** gesponsert. Essen & Getränke gesponsert vom **[IIBA Austria Chapter](https://austria.iiba.org/).** 🍻 **🎤 Call for Speakers & Sponsoren!** Und wenn du selbst etwas erzählen willst oder eine Idee für einen Talk hast, dann melde dich einfach. Auch suchen wir nicht nur Sprecher, sondern neue Lokationen zum Vortragen. 👉 **RSVP now!** Die Plätze sind begrenzt, also melde dich bitte an. Wie immer freuen wir uns sehr auf dich! Wir freuen uns auf eine rege Diskussion!
