Sitecore Web CMS

Sitecore provides an extensible framework that connects to your business. Built on the .Net framework, Sitecore makes it easy to integrate existing business systems with your CMS to deliver robust and dynamic data to your visitors. In addition, it is highly scalable and can easily support even the largest business needs.

For content editors, an intuitive WYSIWYG editor is provided and allows for content to be edited inline on the page. A flexible role and workflow system enable fine grained control over content, allowing content to be published immediately or require a set of editorial reviews. Content can be managed in any language with ease and versions for each language are kept separately. Sitecore provides search friendly URLs out of the box and the ability to alias content for marketing purposes.

The Sitecore Online Marketing Suite provides even more tools to gain insight into your visitors. Users can be viewed behaviorally and content displayed that is relevant to what they are looking for on your site. The OMS allows for campaigns to be created and includes reports to track how campaigns are progressing. The analytics gained from the OMS are more precise than script based analytics such as Google Analytics because it does not rely on included javascript and has direct access to the users and pages that those users are visiting.
