Multisite management

Stellent has introduced a new version of one of its multisite management applications, Site Studio. The company reports the new version offers "audience experts" within a business unit or department in-context site assembly and organization capabilities through a new Site Studio Manager tool.

Further, the company says, the new Site Studio Manager tool enables organizations to more easily distribute control of day-to-day site maintenance to business units. Site Studio Manager is a completely Web-based application designed specifically for Web site managers and employs asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax) techniques to provide a user interface that is similar to applications with which business users are accustomed.

Stellent adds Site Studio's in-context site management features facilitate modifying navigation; adding sections, such as those used for blogs; and selecting layouts from a pre-defined list of templates. The new version also offers a tighter integration with Stellent's repository analytics tool, Content Tracker, making it easier to incorporate service and content usage analytics within Web sites.
