Ektron Content Management Solution Now Addresses Regulatory Compliance Issues
12/08/2003
The newest version, 4.0, of Ektron's browser-based Web content management system CMS300 enables organizations to exploit XML's superior data collection, storage, and presentation capabilities in what the company says is an affordable, simple, straightforward and coherent way. Version 4.0's new features include the version 4.0 of Ektron eWebEditPro+XML, the first editing tool to hide XML and XSLT complexities from business and technical users.
"Ektron is a leader in making content management easy and affordable for the masses," the company says. "By putting XML content authoring, publishing and management capabilities directly in a browser-based application, Ektron solutions automate previously time-consuming business processes."
"Ektron CMS300 offers dramatic efficiencies for streamlining content presentation, optimizing content for output to various devices (the Web, print, PDAs, and mobile phones,) simplifying RSS syndication, and more," said Bill Rogers, CEO of Ektron. "We offer a realistic, yet futuristic, approach to XML in a very affordable, flexible and scalable package. Many turn to us after abandoning less-than-robust custom CM systems or overly complex ECM packages."
Other new features include:
- Improved audit trail capabilities to address legal and regulatory compliance issues with improved granularity for tracking content authors, modifications, etc.
- Index searching to ensure more precisely matched search results by leveraging XML (through partnership with Ixiasoft, a leader in the native XML content server market)
- Enhanced international language support to enable management of metadata and teasers with XML
- Content randomization functionality to vary content shown on different pages at different times
- Internal search to improve capabilities for locating and accessing content (documents, images, etc) being managed in the system
- Improved meta-tagging, allowing users to assign meta-tags from drop-down lists
- Industry-specific sample sites to help organizations in hospitality, healthcare, education and other verticals understand and jump-start this system
Introduced in November 2002, Ektron CMS300's include Syracuse University, Dowden Health Media, Eagle County Colorado, Medical Records Institute, Survival, Inc., and VUM Media.
