Now, with Content Management Server 2002 Standard Edition, organizations of all sizes can build their Web strategy on a solid foundation. Content Management Server Standard Edition offers a comprehensive Web-content management solution designed to increase the productivity of your IT staff, while enabling you to rapidly deploy your Web site on an easy-to-update platform to connect with customers and partners over the Web.
Medium-sized organizations today typically face multiple challenges when trying to use their Web sites to generate business results, including:
| • | Deploying and updating Web sites costs too much and takes too long.. |
| • | Web content is inaccurate or outdated, because the content owners (non-technical workers) can't update the Web site. |
| • | IT staff spends too much time on low-value tasks such as updating Web content instead of driving Web-based projects that result in cost savings, increased customer satisfaction, and competitive advantage. |
Additionally, as growth-oriented organizations look to extend complex business processes to the Web, they often find their simple "flat-file" Web sites, basic content authoring tools, or even custom-built content systems are not sufficient to support their business goals. Typically, this is because:
| • | IT staff are not equipped with the tools required to quickly and cost-effectively build advanced functionality, especially in response to urgent competitive opportunities or threats. |
| • | Existing Web site structure doesn't enable broad reuse or sharing of Web content while maintaining control of that content (essential for participation in hub-spoke relationships, customer and partner extranets, supplier portals). |
| • | Existing Web site architecture isn't extensible or interoperable enough to cost effectively create solutions to unique business problems or to integrate with existing back-end systems, business applications, and Intranet Portals. |
Content Management Server Standard Edition resolves these challenges with a combination of productivity-enhancing tools for IT and information workers, comprehensive out-of-the-box functionality to ensure rapid deployment, and an extensible, interoperable architecture designed to get you connected with customers, partners, and your existing systems. Content Management Server Standard Edition also offers a seamless upgrade to the full Content Management Server Enterprise Edition, ensuring your Web strategy can always grow with your business.For pricing details, visit the how to buy page.
