Advertorial; New Web Content Management Options for Web Designers and Developers

Web developers, designers, and their organizations frequently find themselves “stuck in the middle” when it comes to finding the right solution for effectively building and deploying dynamic Web sites and creating, managing and publishing online content, digital documents and other Web assets.

Standards-based environments

Relying on industry-standard approaches such as Macromedia Dreamweaver and Microsoft Visual Studio ensures that sites can be built in record time utilizing existing skills and talents.

To support rapid implementation and use, today's Web content solutions are also delivering environments familiar to IT staff such as the Microsoft Windows operating

system, the .NET Framework, Microsoft databases, application servers and developer tools, and also to everyday users, such as Microsoft Word, Outlook and Windows Explorer.

Ease of use for multiple audiences

As described previously, a CMS solution designed with "ease of use" in mind means that developers can remain in their preferred development environment for building new sites and applications; site administrators can easily configure and manage users and content from their browser; and everyday users can begin authoring content and managing pages and sections of a site with minimal training and little to no ongoing support.

Content management solution value

Solutions that respect real-world budget and deployment timelines, recognize the preexisting investment in skills and tools, while

also delivering a solid depth of added functionality, offer high value to any organization seeking to streamline their Web content management and publishing processes.

Multiple content and document delivery options

This type of added functionality enables your organization to support new modes of distributing information, including RSS feeds, blog publishing and multi-site content management, to name but a few.

Corporate automation

Not just a passing buzzword, efficiency is a mandate today to ensure maximum employee output and long-term profitability. A Web CMS that support rapid development and collaborative work environments support this mandate.
