New Eprise On Demand Delivers Easy-to-Use Web Content Management to the Mid-Market
SilkRoad’s Offering Enables Mid-Market Companies to Exploit the Value of the Web at a Low Cost and with Zero Maintenance Issues
Philadelphia, PA., AIIM Conference and Expo Booth # 3519 - May 17, 2005 – SilkRoad technology inc., the leading provider of enterprise-class, easy-to-use content management and collaboration software, today announced the availability of Eprise On Demand. The new hosted solution enables medium-sized businesses to easily build Web sites, intranets and extranets leveraging best-in class content editing, personalization and workflow capabilities previously only available to the enterprise, without the complexities involved with managing software or hardware on site.
Mid-sized businesses have struggled to find an appropriate application to expand their Web initiatives from simple Web sites into powerful, interactive business tools. To date, on-premise, enterprise-level solutions have been too costly and too complex to run. Many mid-market companies have taken to unsuccessful and expensive alternatives such as hiring Web design firms to manage updates at unmanageable prices, building home-grown content management systems that can not grow with the needs of the company, or creating static Web sites that are quickly out of date and off-message. As a result of the high costs and long implementation cycles associated with most Web content management solutions, mid-market companies have been slow to adopt extranets and intranets. In doing so, these companies have lost out on significant time and cost savings related to communication with partners and employees.
SilkRoad brings the benefits of a robust, enterprise content management solution targeted to the unique needs of the mid-market companies with this completely new offering. Eprise On Demand provides rapid implementations of multiple Web sites via QuickForms, true in-context editing capabilities, the ability to manage workflow on content approvals directly from the Website, and integration with Microsoft Word, Windows Explorer, and Internet Explorer. In addition, because it is based on the core technology of the award-winning Eprise Enterprise offering, the hosted version provides a high level of power and flexibility.
Over 200,000 users manage content on over 3,000 websites deployed on the Eprise enterprise content management system around the world. "We have found Eprise On Demand to be instrumental to our Web-based presence,” said Guy Schuman, president of the Winston-Salem Warthogs, a minor league baseball team. “Utilizing such an easy to use content management system has enabled us to provide a state of the art, interactive web experience for our fans and team.”
Eprise On Demand is the first solution to provide the mid-market with:
• A rich collaborative tool-set, including surveys, forums, calendaring and the ability to integrate with chat functions;
• Personalization and dynamic content capabilities to target content and appearance for each visitor, or group of visitors;
• High-performance capabilities that can scale as the business grows with a base configuration able to exceed millions of transactions per month;
• Zero hardware, software and programming demands, freeing the IT staff to focus on other mission critical issues.
“In order to win customers and carve a niche among their largest competitors, mid-market organizations require content management solutions that enable multi-site Web experiences, without the costs and maintenance associated with enterprise-class solutions,” said Brian Platz, general manager of Eprise at SilkRoad. “The current hosted solutions on the market do not provide this level of functionality. With Eprise On Demand, we are meeting this need and empowering mid-market organizations to create a Web presence that meets and exceeds customer, partner and employee expectations.”
