Automated machine translation covers roughly 150 languages, with a separate manual-translation workflow covering about 500 language pairs. Auto-tagging uses Google-based machine learning for image recognition. The vendor also states general integration capability with \"catalogue-management, ERP-, shop-systems, etc.\" but does not name a specific ERP, PIM, CRM or e-commerce vendor (no SAP, Shopify, Salesforce, etc. named on the pages checked).

The vendor's own \"What's new\" page is the closest equivalent and describes Version 10.2 as the latest documented feature set: an AI Image Creator using OpenAI's DALL-E API, a search-statistics and reporting plugin, image preview zoom\/navigation, a similar-images function (matching colour schemes), upload-time duplicate detection with retrospective checking, customizable portal design themes, improved PostScript\/KRITA file preview and conversion, and a new API function for inserting images\/text into existing PDFs. Versions 10.0\/10.1 (documented on the same page, undated) added Adobe\/Microsoft connector plugins, a redesigned UI, folder uploads and enhanced task\/project management. No explicit release date is published for 10.2 or 10.0\/10.1 on the page.","api_docs_url":"https:\/\/www.hypercms.com\/en\/resources\/api-documentation\/","api_depth":"Full, but tiered by edition. The core documented Media\/Server API spans 18 functional categories (Main, Get, Set, Connect, Security, Media, Metadata, Link, Plugin development, User Interface, Template engine, XML, Reporting, Project\/Task management, Workflow, Cloud storage, Import\/Export), intended for building standalone applications, plugins and template functions (navigation, sitemap, etc.) on top of the server. Beyond this, the Features page names a separate \"SOAP \/ RESTful API (OpenAPI)\" and a \"Search API (OpenSearch)\". The API documentation overview page explicitly states the OpenAPI is \"not part of the Free Edition\" -- so the free\/open-source Core edition's programmatic access is narrower than the full Media API surface available to paying customers.","wayback_note":"Wayback Machine unreachable via WebFetch in this environment","review_tier_summary":"Verified tier (Gartner Peer Insights, TrustRadius, PeerSpot): no listing for HyperCMS\/hyperCMS was found on any of the three platforms via web search -- the vendor appears to have no presence in the Verified tier. Incentivized tier: Capterra lists 17 verified reviews for \"hyper Content & Digital Asset Management Server\" averaging 4.8\/5, dated September 2015 through July 2023 (reviews concentrated in 2015-2017, with one more recent review from 2023). G2 lists the same product as \"hyper Content & Digital Asset Management Server\" at 4.6\/5 (search-snippet only; the G2 reviews page itself returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, so an exact review count could not be confirmed). Per the 2026-02-05 G2\/Capterra ownership merger, these two counted as one source family, not two independent ones. Long tail: the public Core GitHub repo has zero published releases and no issue activity surfaced in this pass; no forum, Reddit, tender\/procurement, or job-posting mentions of HyperCMS were found in this pass."},"silo":[],"class_list":["post-2305","vendor","type-vendor","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/picajet.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vendor\/2305","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/picajet.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vendor"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/picajet.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/vendor"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/picajet.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vendor\/2305\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/picajet.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2305"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"silo","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/picajet.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/silo?post=2305"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
