Why is Web Manager Desktop Enterprise Different from Other Solutions?
Unlike other web content management solutions Web Manager Desktop Enterprise is knowledge-based portal solution. The information about your organisation and its services/products are not embedded in the web site pages but is stored separately in a knowledge base. Web Manager Desktop Enterprise understands the relationship between the objects used in your site (products, services, company profiles, news items, FAQs, etc.) and treats each uniquely to build the web service to meet your needs.
Remember all information stored in Web Manager Desktop can be readily repurposed and reused (in other ways unforeseen when the information was created).
As Web Manager Desktop uses the proven technology of Knowledge Desktop Portal Server its also easy to integrate with other external systems.
There is also Web Manager SME Package which is targeted towards smaller organisations.
