Managing Web tasks
Ektron reports it has strengthened its content management solution by adding features that give organizations control over their workflow processes. The company explains the new workflow suite in its CMS300 4.7 product automates the collaboration, management and approval of content. Further, it says, organizations can add content process control, which includes assigning tasks, monitoring progress and managing all content-centric processes.
Ektron’s workflow suite supports an organization’s Web site, intranet and extranet maintenance tasks, as well as critical Web-enabled business processes. Anyone who controls a section of a site can now assign tasks, automate status, support messaging between users and run reports/statistics on the task or procedure. Archiving and complete history of tasks provide an analysis of the process, resulting in more productivity. For organizations looking to address accountability and auditing issues associated with content, CMS300 4.7 provides them with real-time task monitoring information.
Ektron says the new suite also enables organizations to create and manage multiple-language versions of the same content within one CMS. The workflow capabilities make it easier to manage and control the process of translating content on a Web site. The tools built into the CMS allow organizations to observe the work of their third-party translation service--assigning priorities and deadlines, tracking progress and collaborating--all within the CMS. Ektron's CMS ships with three business-user interface languages: English, French and German.
