The Web CMS Report 2009 looks at... Mediasurface Morello

"Mediasurface also now offers a small hosted solution, mostly for creative agencies, called Pepperio (acquired a little over a year ago), and more recently, in June 2007, Mediasurface acquired mid-tier player Immediacy, which it plans to maintain as a separate product.
