pirobase 5 sets new standards for Content Management
Pironet NDH presents new release for the first time at the Systems 2001

Cologne, Germany (ots)

With pirobase 5, Pironet NDH is
introducing a major upgrade of its dynamic content management
software. pirobase 5 is characterised by a number of new features,
including the rapid customisation of the design, the simple
incorporation of in-house workflows via XML (eXtensible Markup
Language) and an improved user interface. With the enhanced
multi-client ability, ASP operators and large companies can now set
up several independent websites on a single server and thus offer
their ASP clients or subsidiaries the independent management of
separate information systems. A further highlight is the replication
function that allows the whole database to be synchronised in
pirobase from data sources distributed worldwide. This reduces the
network load, ensures a higher availability of the data and lowers
the communication costs.
"The market wants a content management system that can be quickly
installed and easily tailored to one's own requirements", says
Michael Jaszczyk, CTO of Pironet NDH. "With pirobase 5, customising
is child's play. Design administrators can adapt templates to the
company's own corporate design without programming knowledge using
the new integrated layout assistant. Administrators benefit from the
improved usability in the admin center, and authors from the simpler
and quicker editing processes in the content management."
The most important new functions for authors
pirobase 5 enables an even more efficient and more intuitive
operation of the system. The revised user guidance makes work easier
for beginners and professionals alike. Functions which authors
previously had to call up via the admin center of pirobase are
accessible in the new version quickly and directly from the editing
mode. For example, categories or user rights to certain pages or
objects can be assigned directly from here. Furthermore, authors can
now access the content objects in the pirobase database directly via
FTP (File Transfer Protocol), edit them in the respective client
application and store them back in pirobase from there. These and
many more features considerably simplify and accelerate the
publishing process.
The highlights for administrators
The administrators also benefit from the innovations in pirobase.
The new multi-client ability, for example, allows the administrator
in a large company to create a clear separation of the system areas
for the subsidiaries (clients). Each client manages his own users and
groups according to the corporate structure, has a delimited page and
category tree, his individual content objects and templates, thus
guaranteeing an optimum management of responsibilities even in
complex structures. The company also saves costs as several sites are
managed on a single server. The multi-client ability is also
interesting for commercial ASP operators, particularly in conjunction
with the new pirobase module manager. The administrators simply
determine at the click of the mouse which functional modules of the
system are to be used for which ASP client, thus creating the
possibility of modular price models.
The various new replication and staging processes in version 5
improve the performance and capacity utilisation in content
management applications with distributed data storage. Furthermore,
the demands of company structures with separate development, test and
live server systems can be ideally satisfied
In order to ensure the fault-free running of content-related
processing and release procedures, pirobase 5 is equipped as standard
with several typical content management workflow models. In addition,
administrators can easily incorporate their own XML-based workflow
models using FTP.
Access to partners' supplementary pirobase "add-ons"
In addition to pirobase 5, Pironet NDH and its technology partners
have developed various add-on function components and services. For
example, use of the "high availability add-on" increases the
availability of the content management software. On the basis of the
new "GIS add-ons", professional geographic information systems (GIS)
and electronic town plans and maps can be added to pirobase intranet,
extranet and internet platforms. The GIS solutions function as
"address checkers" and "geomarketing" add-ons, checking incoming
contact data on-the-fly and supplementing this, where necessary, with
postal and socio-demographic information and guiding web visitors
with location-dependent vicinity search and route planning functions
as "location finders" directly to the stationary sales or service
departments in the company.

   - Multi-Client-Ability / Multi-Site
