Content Management

What exactly is a CMS?

CMS stands for "Content Management System" or editorial system. Generally this software is connected to a database, which stores the contents. Of course there are simpler systems which store contents in text files.

Separation of programming, administration and editing

In a classic creation of internet pages with simple editors the editorial staff must have programming knowledge (HTML, javascript, PHP, etc.) as well as knowledge of web server administration (access control, FTP, etc.), so that he can then get on writing.

An editorial system with a hierarchy system such as the DASAT CMS controls which group of users may do which things - or positively said: which tasks the user doesn't have to worry about and which ones he can concentrate on instead.

Contents are layout independent

The contents (images, texts, etc.) in a good editorial system are separated from the layout. That means that the appearance of the website can later be changed without editing all pages.

Simple input of text or graphics

Thanks to the intuitive usability of DASAT-CMS any person, who has some basic PC and internet knowledge can work with it. With the integrated editor texts can be created as simply as in a word processor.

Images can be moved directly from the hard disc or digital camera into the system. The upload function also makes it possible to manipulate the size or placement of the images. No extra graphic application is necessary.

What should a CMS offer today?

  • Central data storage
    Content, graphics, etc. are stored in a central database on the webserver
  • Usable with any operating system
    Any user, no matter which operating system is installed, can use the system.
  • Contents can be edited from any internet access point
    Whether the editor sits in Munich, Italy or the USA - he can actualize his data from anywhere in the world.
  • Hierarchy system
    It must be set which user on the website gets which rights in which area.
  • Keeping the CI
    Through separation of content and layout the web presence is always consistent  with the CI of the company
  • Content-Distribution
    Because content is separated from the layout, they can be made available to other systems (print, other websites, etc.)
  • Dynamic creation of navigations
    Menus are automatically created in the system. Programming is not necessary
  • Time set display
    Certain contents are only interesting to the user at certain times (christmas specials, sales, events). These are displayed from the CMS at certain dates or times.
  • Distributed input of contents
    A website depends on its actuality. The task of inputting contents independent from location can be done by several people.
  • Programming of own modules
    No editorial system can satisfy all needs of a customer. That's why there should be an interface to hook up external data sources
  • Workflow
    Input contents must be opened by different people, before the texts are put online
  • Installation on a standard webserver
    So that you can use the advantages of a CMS , it should be programmed to run on a standard webserver.

 

Of course DASAT-CMS satisfies all of these needs.
