Pedrera CMS™ - Enterprise Class Content Management
Pedrera CMS™, our enterprise-class content management system, allows organizations of all sizes to quickly and inexpensively deploy a reliable platform for growing websites. This integrated solution facilitates content updating by non-technical staff, while delivering the robust capabilities that IT personnel demand.
Content Authoring and Editing
Pedrera CMS™ makes creating and updating web content incredibly easy - even for non-technical users. Through a simple, easy-to-use interface, users may directly edit the content of the website.
- Richly-formatted, fully-compliant HTML code may be created through an intuitive WYSIWYG tool bar
- Site content is delivered through data-driven templates, ensuring consistent display of branding standards and site design elements
- Content items may be safely previewed before they are made publicly available, in the exact context that they would be displayed
Workflow, Version Control and Content Review
Pedrera CMS™ makes it easy to coordinate the efforts of various team members. With robust workflow and process control features, website administrators have the resources they need to keep their sites on-track.
- Content may be created and previewed in a "draft" state, where it may be revised before appearing on the live site
- Content may be recovered and restored from a "recycling bin” safeguard for easy roll-back
- Whenever a content item is updated, a change log stores who made the change and when it was made
Website Assembly and Display
Through the effective use of .NET "master pages" and "web parts", the display engine offers excellent control and performance.
- Web pages may be designed with absolute flexibility — there's no requirement to adhere to predefined templates
- Sites may be deployed with multiple templates, giving certain pages a unique aesthetic or enabling different languages
- The display engine generates actual web pages with search engine optimized file names, meta tags, HTML, etc.
Flexible Architecture
As your website grows, Pedrera CMS™ grows with it. All the content is stored in an extensible data model, which allows unrestricted growth over time.
- Each content item may have any number of subordinate content items (sub-pages), which means that site growth can be completely organic and unlimited
- Beyond merely displaying text content as HTML, Pedrera CMS™ allows users to post any type of file (e.g. - PDF, Microsoft Word, Excel, etc.), or even links to other websites
- Content modules like news, events and job boards allow for specialized display and functionality
User Management and Security
Within the Control Panel, website managers may securely administrate access rights for their websites.
- Role-based permissions make rights management quick and intuitive
- User roles may be assigned on a content basis (e.g. - "Content Provider" for "Products"), offering unlimited flexibility
- The system adheres to security best practices and is highly dependable
Strategic Reporting
More than just a content management tool, Pedrera CMS™ is a complete web management platform with powerful reporting capabilities for marketers.
- Native support for Google Analytics with AdWords integration
- Capacity for custom reporting modules to fulfill special requirements
- Support for log analysis tools (i.e. – Webtrends) via meaningful log files with true filenames
