Workcenter Key Benefits
Key benefits of Atlas Workcenter Enterprise 4 CMS include:
Compatibility
Whether your admins or content managers access your Workcenter 4 via Macintosh or PC, Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari or Firefox, we've got you covered. And the pages they build with Workcenter can be viewed in any browser.
Industry Standards
Workcenter sites are built using standard HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP. No special template or theming language to learn and struggle with. And since it is based on LAMP open source architecture, you will find thousands of resources to help build and host your sites.
Scalability
To meet the resource needs of larger sites (or several sites in the same system), Workcenter can be scaled across multiple servers (or virtual servers) and fully supports both hardware and software load-balancing. Workcenter also features an advanced caching system to speed the display of pages and support higher levels of traffic.
Cost-Effectiveness
Workcenter Enterprise offers a feature set that rivals and surpasses competing systems that are many times the price. With its frugal system needs and reliability, low training requirements, and large included feature set, its total cost of ownership will always be one of the lowest in any class.
Easy Site Updating for Experts and Novices Alike
Add/delete and edit pages with ease. Use the toolbar in all WYSIWYG Editor windows to assign HTML and CSS styles to content. Move pages around within your site and watch the navigation adapt by itself. Use the Template Composer to create and edit the templates (with full support for CSS layouts) that display your content and update the look or features of your whole site automatically. Empower more users to contribute to your site's overall upkeep while maintaining the integrity of its design and overall structure.
Dynamic Content
Subscribe parts of your pages to auto-updating news or events headlines with links to full stories. Add graphics with links to PDFs or videos or external URLs. Capture opt-in e-mail addresses to use with the OutBox Module or create easily managed members-only areas. Tell content items to publish themselves and then remove themselves from a site at specific dates. Manage SEO (search engine optimization) easily with search-engine friendly URLs, meta keywords and meta descriptions on a page by page basis. Build a truly dynamic experience for your visitors.
Simple Site Administration
Assign permissions (granular-level) to content managers and administrators, schedule backups, check running processes, and create simple or complex workflow environments. And, since Workcenter Enterprise can host multiple domains and sites, you can manage your whole suite of Web properties in a single system.
