Integrating WebMS with your corporate CMS.

Integrating WebMS in your current Content Management System can be done several ways. Here are the main options available.

1. Off-the-shelf.

WebMS comes with its own high-end publishing and content management system, providing extensive and powerful content management functionalities :
1. Using WebMS off-the-shelf storage functions.
  • Visual Tree Editor.
  • Wysiwyg Page Editor.
  • Publishing project management.
  • Advanced search engine.
  • Content maintenance tools.
  • Automated deployment process.
  • Automated merging of different sites.
  • Independant graphical layer ('skinnable' sites).
  • Automated updates (links and content).

2. Shallow (back-end) integration.

Maybe you'd rather rely upon your own back-end infrastructure regarding content storage matters.

In this case, the integration is also costless and straightforward :
2. Integrating WebMS with your CMS' storage.
  • WebMS files are stored in your CMS and requested directly by the WebMS server, acting as a client of your CMS.
  • The site managers access the site's data through the WebMS user interface.
  • The content management functionalities are those of WebMS.
  • Your corporate CMS is used for storage, deployment, backup, rollback.

3. Deep (front-end) integration.

The web-based, open architecture of WebMS relies entirely on standards (XML, Schema, CSS, XHTML, Java, Javascript... see the entire list in our Technologies section). It is also completely component-based and object-oriented.

Thus, the convivial and powerful publishing environment of WebMS can be easily integrated into your present corporate infrastructure at a fraction of the usual cost.

Your corporate CMS is not only used for storage, deployment, backup, rollback. You also keep its specific high-end content management functions (i.e. access rights management, approval workflow, full XML searches, integration of portal components, etc.).

These are integrated with WebMS native functionalities in the webMS client, or in any web-based client software of your choice.
3. Combining WebMS' and CMS' front-ends.
