DFAU Steps Up to Platinum Membership in the TYPO3 Association

DFAU GmbH has elevated its commitment to the TYPO3 community by upgrading from Silver to Platinum membership. This upgrade highlights DFAU's dedication to driving digital innovation, especially with its TYPO3-based SaaS solution, “toujou.”

Baar, Switzerland – 11 July 2024

For almost 25 years, DFAU has been at the forefront of delivering high-performance web solutions, emphasizing sustainable digital practices and a deep understanding of client needs. DFAU, a group of TYPO3 enthusiasts, has been engaged with the CMS since version 4 in 2007. Their passion for TYPO3 is driven by its open-source technology and the vibrant community that supports it.

“As a TYPO3 Solution Partner and a frequent sponsor of TYPO3 events, DFAU's upgrade to a Platinum membership underscores its high level of engagement and investment in the TYPO3 community,” says Boris Hinzer, Vice President of the TYPO3 Association.

The introduction of "toujou" – DFAU's TYPO3-based website builder – marks a pivotal advancement. Launched in 2018, “toujou” makes TYPO3 accessible and affordable, enabling businesses of various sizes to swiftly deploy high-quality websites. A significant benefit of “toujou” is that it empowers TYPO3 agencies to broaden their client rosters, enabling them to profitably handle both small projects and full-scale brand development without compromising technical security or affordability. Additionally, “toujou” caters to end-users and also provides a robust platform for design and communications agencies to expand their technology offerings.

DFAU and TYPO3: It’s about Staying and Attracting

"We are thrilled to advance our involvement with the TYPO3 Association to a Platinum level," said Viviane Gebelein, sales, customer, and partner service for toujou. "This significant upgrade in our membership underscores our commitment to the TYPO3 ecosystem. With toujou, we ensure that projects stay within the TYPO3 community, preventing them from migrating to other platforms or languishing on outdated versions. Additionally, by offering robust yet affordable solutions, we attract new customers who seek quality and value. Through our Platinum membership, we are better positioned to contribute to the growth and sustainability of the TYPO3 community and its software, ensuring both continue to thrive."

"toujou" includes automatic upgrades and updates, significantly reducing the technical and financial burdens of maintaining current web standards. By supporting TYPO3 versions that are nearing their end-of-life cycle after Extended Long Term Support (ELTS), as a TYPO3 Solution Partner, DFAU offers an additional fourth year of ELTS. During this period, users can transition to the “toujou” service and take advantage of included upgrades and updates. This approach eliminates the need for ELTS, ensuring continuous support for TYPO3 versions.
