ControlCore to the success of decentralised authoring are strong controls. Seamless CMS provides you with an array of controls that let you define business and user rules to the finest levels - ensuring that your website always contains the highest quality of content.

Permissions Seamless CMS offers a rich set of controls that let you define macro level permissions, enabling you to model roles that match exactly what each user should be doing inside the system. Permissions are broken down into logical categories, making it easy to setup new roles as required. Users can be restricted to access the system from a pre-defined IP range, or Seamless CMS can be plugged into Active Directory for automated Administrator and User management (for password protected sites, intranets or extranets).

WorkflowSeamless CMS delivers the right balance between chaos and control. Our workflow provides all key functions such as controlled workflow approvals, linear incremental publishing, versioning, comment and review. To keep things moving smoothly, Seamless CMS also automatically generates notifications, reminders and archiving/publish/review events and communicates with relevant users directly via email. Combined, Seamless CMS provides strong workflow functionality that ensures the highest quality of published content, and maximum efficiency during the process.

Multi-lingualSeamless CMS provider site-level localisation, allowing you to localize your websites, intranets and extranets in every market to ensure a relevant local message within an overarching global brand or site architecture. With support for UTF-8 and Unicode, Seamless CMS can support sites in almost all languages.

PublishingSeamless CMS provides a fully customisable workflow process, from Work-In-Progress to Published (live), ensuring that content integrity is always maintained. Flexible workflows can easily be setup (with sequential approval steps that are supported by automated email notifications to relevant approvers) depending on the type of content being published, and users can easily switch between live or wip navigation mode to see how the website looks presently, and in the future. Scheduling allows authors to specify when content should be published, reviewed or archived - and every step of the way is managed by Seamless CMS via automated email reminders.

PresentationBecause Seamless CMS separates the content layer from the design layer, editors can confidently focusing on updating content, without worrying about interfering with the design or layout of pages. Pre-defined styleguides are automatically applied style to text and content, and layouts are constrained to content areas. This not only means that a single piece of content can be published in multiple formats and to different platforms (such as to a website, to a PDF file, or to a mobile phone), but also enables content authors to spend time creating great content, without worry about styling or presentation.

ReportingSeamless CMS offers a variety of reports that can provide you with insight on what's happening in your CMS from an editorial and publishing point of view. Reports range from audits of specific users, to review of items in various workflow stages, as well as link checking (on an individual page or asset level, or global website level), and other report types. Seamless CMS can also be integrated into external weblog analyser or page-tracking style reporting and analytics packages.

ArchivingTo help you comply with strict regulatory requirements around the archival and storage of historic information, Seamless CMS provides comprehensive version management and content lifecycle controls. Content and files can be create or imported, published and then archived into repositories where it can be maintained for a period of time, and easily accessed for review if required. The archival process is built into Seamless CMS, ensuring that no extra effort or resourcing is required on behalf of content editors.

Search Optimization (SEO)Search optimisation might be high on your checklist, but how do you get it right? And beyond the first time, how do you ensure that changing content editors continually get it right as the site grows? Seamless CMS provides you with controls that can automatically keyword pages and content, and help editors know what they need to do in order to make the site search friendly as they are working on content.
