Guided by a customer-driven roadmap, Hannon Hill has continued to consistently release new features and enhancements including an expanded web services API, a multilingual product interface, and more flexible options for customizing access rights.
"Taking user feedback heavily into account with our new product releases, and allowing clients to vote on features to guide our roadmap means we never lose sight of what our clients really need," said Hannon Hill President David Cummings. "The improvements we've made in the past few months are particularly exciting because we're now able to provide a robust web services API to allow our product to be integrated even more tightly with existing systems. It's really taking Cascade Server, as a product, to the next level, and more importantly, it heightens our customers' content management capabilities to better manage and work with their websites."
About Cascade Server
Cascade Server is a powerful web content management (WCM) solution that gives people the freedom to manage their Internet, Intranet, Extranet and Portal content with ease. Designed around XML and for any network environment, Cascade Server is accessible through any Internet-connected browser and is as easy as email. Unlike current WCM solutions, Cascade Server helps organizations maintain a higher quality, standards-compliant web site, while providing deployment flexibility, a zero footprint client and implementation in less than a month.
Cascade Server makes it possible for web managers of any department or user-level to manage a complex website with ease and efficiency. The solution automatically replicates a consistent look throughout the site and content is separated from design, so users can change the look easily, without redoing an entire website. It also allows faculty to update their own pages in a user-friendly interface.
Cascade Server prevents content from being published without the proper approvals as content can be channeled through a workflow procedure to ensure errors don't slips through the cracks. By keeping all content in one central location and automatically publishing to the web a camera-ready copy, the WCM solution manages information, like institutions' course catalogs, with minimal difficulty to the user, and also avoids the redundancy of information often resulting from older publishing processes.
Hannon Hill Corporation offers a number of resources on WCM, including white papers on the role of content management in higher education and course catalog management and case studies. For more information, visit www.hannonhill.com/resources/index.html.
