Continuum offers solutions to develop customized Content management systems or integrate operational CMS systems to any environment. Continuum deploys CMA applications primarily for interactive use by a potentially large number of contributors.
The content managed includes computer files, images, media files such as audio and video, electronic documents and web content. The idea behind a CMS is to make these files available inter-office, as well as over the web. Content Management System developed by Continuum would most often be used as archival as well. Many companies use our CMS to store files in a non-proprietary form. Companies also use CMS to share files with ease, as most systems use server based software, even further broadening file availability. Content Management Systems include a feature for Web Content, and some have a feature for a "workflow process."
Work flow is the idea of moving an electronic document along for either approval, or for adding content. Most Content Management Systems developed by Continuum easily facilitate this process with email notification, and automated routing. This is ideally a collaborative creation of documents. Thereafter the CMS will facilitate the organization, control, and publication of a large body of documents and other content, such as images and multimedia resources.
A web content management system is developed with additional features to ease the tasks required to publish web content to web sites.
Web content management systems developed by Continuum are used for storing, controlling, versioning, and publishing industry-specific documentation such as news articles, operators' manuals, technical manuals, sales guides, and marketing brochures. A typical content management system developed by Continuum may support the following features:
- Import and creation of documents and multimedia material
- Identification of all key users and their content management roles
- The ability to assign roles and responsibilities to different content categories or types.
- Definition of the content workflow tasks, often coupled with event messaging so that content managers are alerted to changes in content.
- The ability to track and manage multiple versions of a single instance of content.
- The ability to publish the content to a repository to support access to the content. Increasingly, the repository is an inherent part of the system, and incorporates enterprise search and retrieval.
- Some content management systems allow the textual aspect of content to be separated to some extent from formatting. For example the CMS may automatically set default color, fonts, or layout.
