Third-Party Software
- Given the abundance of third-party software/widgets for Forums, Twitter, Facebook and wiki (including many open-source options), Version 4 supports the easy integration of these functions into Workcenter-based sites/pages.
- Version 4 also supports the integration of third-party login functions so that logging into a Workcenter-based site (via GateKeeper functions) also logs the user into the third-party software.
Modernized Infrastructure
- Powerful caching engine and page publishing for faster page serving
- Utilizes PHP5 and AJAX while achieving an even smaller resource footprint
And as always, endless opportunities for expansion and customization!
