Orbit-iEX 2005: CONTENS 3.0 in Switzerland for the first time

Montag, 2. Mai 2005

Orbit 2005The Munich-based company CONTENS, provider for efficient Content Management Solutions, will introduce it's 3.0 product line for the first time at the Orbit-iEX trade show (May 24th – 27th) in Basel, Switzerland. The completely newly developed version includes a swath of new functions that make online projects even more efficient. Together with its distributor Partekk and four other Swiss partners, CONTENS will introduce its innovative Content Management Solutions to companies and institutions of any size and sector.

The Munich-based vendor CONTENS is set to introduce the new CONTENS version 3.0 for the first time to the Swiss public at the Orbit-iEX trade show in Basel, Switzerland (May 24th – 27th). The completely newly developed version CONTENS 3.0 offers a multitude of easy and intuitive functions, that make creating and managing online projects much easier and more efficient.

Intuitive WYSIWYG Interface and Streamlined

The most obvious change made to version 3.0 is the new, more clearly structured user interface. Editors work directly on the website and have access to a wide selection of functions in context-sensitive menus. Menus, page trees and properties windows can be called up and hidden as desired, while the Favorites system additionally allows frequently needed content and pages to be individually composed.

Next to the well-established work view with its overlaid editing functions, CONTENS 3.0 offers editors further displays, such as Direct Edit. This function enables content changes to be made directly on the browser interface, removing the need for an additional pop-up window. Direct Edit considerably cuts down on the time needed to edit existing content.

Administrators also stand to benefit from CONTENS 3.0. The new user administration enables the allocation of as many groups and role combinations as desired, which substantially simplifies the process of quickly assigning processing rights. Assigning rights can now take place not only centrally, as up until now, but also remotely: with appropriate authorization, administrators can adjust which editors or which roles may access each menu.

New System Architecture and complete API

The entire architecture of CONTENS 3.0, which consistently separates the processing of content from the layout (MVC model), is likewise new. The use of ColdFusion MX enables functionalities such as components, connections to external Java libraries and an XML gateway. Customer-specific modules can be easily integrated into CONTENS with an API, which can be used with all of the system functions in CONTENS 3.0. CONTENS 3.0 uses its own code generators for the production of object classes and forms; the same generators are available for personal applications.

Expanded License Model and Favourable Prices

CONTENS' new version expands the license model to include an editor-based variant: customers with a CONTENS 3.0 Server License can administrate an unlimited number of websites on one server, whereby additional editor licenses can be purchased. As up until now, the site-based variant is still available, which includes an unlimited amount of editors and offers the option of further websites. Along with the new license model, CONTENS has also dropped the prices for server licenses by up to 20%.
