We’ve worked with traditional publishers in the book and magazine industries, and with companies that publish content as part of their marketing and engagement strategies.

We at Contextual Code played with it  a bit and it is very easy to install an eZ Platform site, but things are a little different for eZ Publish Legacy. This blog post will show some of the most important steps in running a eZ Publish Legacy installation on eZ Platform Cloud.
