- Manage your content from anywhere - You can access all your information from a normal Web browser - Your content is viewable in all of the popular browsers. This means that you can manage your intranet and public Web site from our mobile solution anywhere in the world. The administration and configuration is all done through your mobile computing device.

- Immediacy of updating and publishing - Now the time from concept to online is drastically reduced. A piece can be written posted, approved and made available online in the arc of minutes instead of hours or days.
- Ability to categorize content - Content can be easily and automatically categorized according to predefined categories that you or your organization can define with maximum flexibility. In practice category additions and changes can even be made along the way without serious consequences to the integrity of your data.
- Content distribution through RSS/XML syndication - Our recommended CMS system effectively integrates RSS technology allowing your content to be used as a "news feed". This allows news readers and news aggregators to tap into your content without even needing to go on the Web. This also means that other federated sites can easily integrate your content and republish it the moment you post it on yours. The possibilities are endless.
- Management of multiple language interfaces - Our recommended CMS solution is now completely Unicode capable, which allows you to create and publish sites in any language or script which is supported by your computer. This works best on Windows 2000 or XP which support Unicode natively. All HTML files are written out in UTF-8 format which is understood by all modern web browsers. This makes it possible to set the character set once and forget about it, using the same template for every language. Our recommended CMS solution will now publish a site even if not every article has been translated to every language. This is useful for maintaining sparsely translated sites or publishing a site before every translation is ready. Full support for right-to-left languages (Hebrew, Arabic, Farsi, Urdu, etc.) including right-to-left editing, embedded text in the other direction, etc.
- Easy maintenance and updating - Maintenance is completely transparent. There is nothing to do to maintain the site, outside of publishing content, checking links to outside sites [that may change or expire] and making a backup of it all every so often.
- Really-Easy to use - Our recommended CMS system is easy to use. You can learn how our recommended CMS system works in 3 hours or less or training. Everything is reduced to outmost simplicity, and it is designed for non-technical users. Once the templates have been designed you need never think about them again. You just concentrate on the content; in our CMS system the main window is a tree view of your entire site - ideal for management. Once the website is set up you can give it to anyone, even with no understanding of web site design or just rudimentary computer skills and they can continue to update the site - it really is that easy to use.
- Look and Feel customization - Our recommended CMS system is based on a template architecture. Using templates the Web site content can now be fully separated from site's presentation and style layers. You decide before hand how all of the content pages will look, as well as the bulletins, the circulars, the procedures, the news pages. The design, layout and features are embedded into the template, and you can now forget about it. You need only to focus on filling in the content and the rest is done automatically. Much satisfaction should also come to the Communications department that will finally see the possibility of consistent looks and navigation's become a real possibility.
- Create ownership - Users can add content, managers can manage. Letting users edit and add content lets them feel ownership towards what they publish and motivates authors and researchers in publishing their latest information promptly. Content production can be increased significantly and by utilizing so much less time and resources. This in turn leads more people to use such content management and publishing systems actively.
