Content management systems (CMS) have become very popular because of their potential to greatly reduce the costs of maintaining your online content while encouraging more content updates which entices people to visit your web site more often.
Content management tools come in several flavors depending upon the purpose for which they were designed. Unlike other content management systems that are based on either a page, article or file model, Townsquare™ incorporates all three content management models due to it's emphasis on tightly integrated web portal functionality.
The advantage of Townsquare's™ portal-based content management approach is that it can simultaneously serve several purposes. Townsquare's™ CMS provides the functionality of...
- a dynamic information brochure website where web pages are updated often;
- a document archive system with a card catalog (metadata) of all articles;
- an online file sharing system that accepts all file types and helps organize these files through editable file folders.
Another advantage is that a single search can be used to find information contained on web pages, document metadata, or the actual content of library documents. The powerful search engine built into Townsquare™ automatically indexes the actual text of many major document formats and can be setup to search documents according to each individual's read permissions.
Overall, our experience suggests that content management systems must contain elements of all three content management models in order to meet the typical online information management and communication needs of public outreach, community resource and decision support projects.
