Ektron Extends Functionality of Microsoft-based Content Management Solution
Continuing a rapid pace in developing one of the industry’s first native .NET content management solutions, Ektron unveiled Ektron CMS400.NET Version 5.0 at the AIIM ON DEMAND Conference & Expo 2005. Ektron CMS400.NET provides enhanced support for Web developers who need to rapidly build Web sites and Web applications, and improved content and document management functionality to improve business process and support for marketers, content managers, and other who use the system.
In Version 5.0, Ektron delivers enhanced search capabilities, new calendar functions, and new Macromedia Dreamweaver integration. CMS400.NET Version 5.0 also ships with a new add-on component, Ektron DMS400, the company’s recently released document management system designed from the ground up for the mid-market. With an integrated CMS/DMS, Ektron streamlines creation, management and publishing of Web content, documents and other assets within a single interface.
"Judges at last year’s AIIM show honored Ektron with a ‘Best of Show’ award, citing our Web content management system’s ‘high level of capabilities at an attractive price point,’” says Ektron CEO Bill Rogers. "Today, Ektron offers a more powerful .NET CMS with deeper functionality, especially as a platform that developers can extend and customize to meet specific needs. We are steadfast in expanding our offerings without adding cost or complexity, and we now deliver integrated document management based on demand from our customers.”
Ektron adds the following to CMS400.NET Version 5.0:
* Macromedia Dreamweaver extensions
Ektron’s system allows Web professionals to work seamlessly in Visual Studio.NET. Now, with new Dreamweaver extensions, any end-user familiar with Dreamweaver can create templates and pages while working in CMS400.NET. This is important to Ektron’s growing base of interactive agency partners using Ektron technology.
* Enhanced XML indexing and search
Ektron adds power to out-of-the-box XML authoring and tagging capabilities to support more detailed and accurate searching, as well as content serving based on user behavior. Version 5.0 adds customizable search fields holding data for HTML pages, documents, forms, images and other library items
* Calendar enhancements
New monthly and daily display/view options are offered along with hover-over display, event descriptions, and multi-language support
* Document management integration
Ektron DMS400 is now integrated with CMS400.NET as an optional add-on module aimed squarely at mid-market needs for a low-cost, quick-to-deploy, easy-to-use document management solution. Ektron’s CMS and DMS share the same security, staging, collaboration, workflow, versioning, search, publishing, & globalization capabilities, all from a single intuitive user interface. Organizations can manage Microsoft Office documents and other digital files, and use the CMS to seamlessly publish documents to public sites, intranets, portals & beyond. 04.07.2005, Ektron, Inc.
