PaperThin Announces Availability of CommonSpot Content Server 4.0
PaperThin, Inc., a mid-market content management software vendor, today announced the availability of CommonSpot(TM) Content Server version 4.0, the company's flagship Web content management solution. This major release introduces new scalability options, added developer and administrator capabilities, and expanded content creation features. Dozens of enhancements to existing features are also introduced in this release.
New scalability options in version 4.0 include enhancements to the replication feature and a static content generation module. By separating the process for handling dynamic and static content, a more scalable, reliable and higher performance site can be realized. This new feature also enables easier incorporation of third party applications, providing support for a broader range of technologies. "Mentor Graphics initially chose CommonSpot because it allowed us to solve some pretty complex navigational challenges associated with managing over 450 products - something no other content management product could solve. In version 4.0, the ability to invoke ASP or JSP modules right within a CommonSpot page allows us to leverage the content management framework to preserve a consistent look and feel for the site and incorporate external applications at the same time," noted Ron Fuller, Web Manager for Mentor Graphics.
Enhancements to CommonSpot's custom metadata and custom element features introduced in version 4.0 allow for even more flexible content re-use. "The ability to bind custom metadata to forms, pages, subsites, uploaded documents and other content allows us to build a richer authoring environment that would otherwise have required complex customization," Fuller added.
New 4.0 features like comprehensive spell check, visual difference and pop-up calendars help authors create and publish content more accurately. Many new administrator tools were also added in this release.
"We've been using CommonSpot for five years now. We asked for several enhancements to the simple form and datasheet features - and we're delighted to see these rolled out in version 4.0," said Matt Linxwiler, National Cotton Council Webmaster. 14.04.2004, PaperThin, Inc.
