The technology
Konnect Soft recommend Ektron’s product CMS400.NET system which
we utilize for web content management implementations.
This is a product-based solution and the advantages of this approach over a custom
implementation, even when employing
high-productivity web development tools such as
Microsoft’s .NET environment, are numerous.
- The
product has substantial functionality already
included
- Functionality for your system is therefore
largely “implemented” rather than “developed”
- Quality
assurance is massively reduced
- New
functionality can be enabled as required
Ektron has employed a strategy of providing a
highly featured CMS and web site/intranet
product at a very low price point when compared
with other products and currently quote 20,000
customer implementations worldwide.
Their CMS400.NET product is a full web
content management and authoring solutions
enabling one to create, deploy and manage
interactive web sites, including editorial
functionality to support the authoring, review,
preview and publishing of content to you web
site.
The product also has an open API allowing, if
required, customization and extension beyond the
onboard functionality.

The system provides full functionality to
support the authoring, review, preview and
publishing of content to your web site, as well
as tools to maintain the web site itself.
Also it provides full remote access to the CMS and web site
functionality, an essential feature where personnel and contributors
are not at the same location.

Furthermore, this approach gives the client

developers, and Konnect Soft will also supply documentation for any
extensions/customisations that are implemented as part of the
