Mambo CMS changes its name to Jango 
In 2000 we developed Mambo as a simple-to-use CMS for businesses. We
released a version as open source under the GPL and continued to
develop our commercial versions. With different teams working on
each, these two versions of Mambo became quite different, but the
concepts and end-results were similar which made it confusing for first
time visitors. This led to many years of questions: What were the
differences between Mambo Open Source and Mambo CMS? Read More  | Featured sites

Serviced residence company goes Jango
In mid 2004, serviced residence company, Ascott International had
just developed a leisure-focused campaign called ‘Stay Somerset’ to
build awareness of the brand and to encourage stays at the properties
located in Sydney, Melbourne and Hobart. Their regional marketing
division approached Miro to help them come up with a cost-effective web
solution that would provide added-value to their limited online
marketing efforts focusing on the ‘ Somerset’ brand. Having heard of
Miro’s CMS solution, Mambo CMS (recently relaunched as Jango), Ascott

Mambo Powered Intranet voted 'best of the best'
Designing a company intranet is one thing. Designing an
award-winning intranet however is a completely different kettle of
fish. Creating campaigns to support everything from retail to financial
services, The Integer Group, one of America’s leading promotional and
marketing agencies, was named one of the world’s best intranets for
2005 by the Nielsen Norman Group.
Held annually, the awards acknowledge the ten best intranets
submitted from across the globe. Judged on ease of usability and the
ability to cater for its users’ needs, the Nielsen Norman Group singled
out Integer’s originality and light-hearted approach. “The Integer
