About Umbraco
Umbraco is a Denmark-based technology company that provides one of the world's most popular open-source content management systems (CMS) built on the Microsoft .NET framework. Headquartered in Odense, the platform is designed to offer a balance between developer flexibility and a user-friendly experience for content editors. With over 400,000 active installations, it serves a wide range of clients from small businesses to global enterprises. Beyond the core open-source product, the company offers Umbraco Cloud, a managed SaaS environment powered by Microsoft Azure, and Umbraco Heartcore, a headless CMS solution. The company maintains a strong community-led ecosystem with over 250,000 developers, supporting its growth through a global network of digital agency partners and annual conferences like Codegarden. While it leverages US-based cloud infrastructure for its SaaS offerings, it remains a European-governed entity with diverse international operations.
