"By continuing our commitment to offer a pure browser-based CMS we are
able to support new browsers from Microsoft and Firefox with ease and
without modifications," said John West, Director of Technology,
Sitecore, USA Inc. "We encourage organizations to embrace IE7 as it is
designed to provide a more secure environment for all online activity.
With 5.3 we lead the pack with IE7 support while enhancing the
developer and business user experience," he added.
The latest version of Sitecore's enterprise-class CMS enhances the user
experience through the Microsoft 2007 design guidelines while providing
increased speed and scalability, enhanced support for web developers
who need to rapidly build web sites and intranets, and updated content
management functionality to improve business processes.
New and enhanced capabilities in Sitecore CMS Version 5.3 include:
• Media Management - Sitecore CMS now includes the ability to
version, manage workflow and secure any media item, like a document,
image or video. In addition, content managers can identify new media
item types to inherit custom metadata for which users can be
automatically prompted to populate when uploading new assets to the
media library.
• Streamlined User Interface - With an increase in functionality and
the need for simplicity, Sitecore has streamlined its user interfaces
for the content editor environment. By employing the design and
functionality concepts of the Microsoft Office 2007 user interface,
Sitecore has made it easier for content managers to find and use
features within a task-focused, uncluttered environment.
• Increased Scalability - To address the continuing needs of
customers with larger web farms that require scalability and
flexibility, Sitecore now provides state server support and additional
caching options. With state server support, Sitecore web farms can
share session information across any of the web servers in the farm.
The additional caching options provide greater flexibility in
controlling content and media items.
• Improved accessibility support - Sitecore addresses key elements to
universal access by providing accessibility to the disabled and
providing customization and localization features for people from
different countries and cultures. This support offers organizations a
larger market share by making their web sites more accessible.
Sitecore will demonstrate its latest version of its enterprise-class
content management and portal platform at the Gilbane Conference for
Content Management Technologies, Nov. 28-30 at the Westin Copley Place
in Boston, MA.
