Today's Web site challenges

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Web content is inaccurate or outdated, because the content owners (non-technical workers) can't update the Web site.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.
