Web Content Management

This is process of managing the authoring and publishing of content for use on intranets, web sites and extranets.

A key feature of this technology is the separation of content from presentation and the division of the process into roles that reflect the individuals skills.

Templates are normally used to define the combination of the content with the presentation elements. This facilitates the consistency of both the functionality and the visual aspects of the site.

Ether Solutions use Oracle ECM to implement WCM as it provides a single repository for the management of both the technical assets and the content. This provides the potential to achieve re-use for multiple sites.

Oracle ECM standard facilities include version control of the content, security over its usage, audit trail of changes, etc.

A range of contribution facilities are available including the use of native documents (e.g. Microsoft Word) and in-context form functionality.
