Content Management

Whether you are managing content for a web site, a library of publications, or your own proprietary data, content management is an important role in today's information-packed world. We make content management easy and cost effective by using our own flagship product, Redtopia Content Management System, or RCMS.

What is RCMS?

RCMS is a content management tool that enables organizations to manage their own data. It is designed to be extensible, meaning that it can handle virtually any type of information. It comes pre-configured with many useful content objects that can be managed by any number of people. These pre-defined objects include calendars, events, web page layouts, HTML text, as well as support for web files such as images, audio and video clips, and PDFs. Support for custom data objects can be added easily.

The underlying storage mechanism in RCMS is a relational database. RCMS works with any relational database system including Microsoft Access, SQL Server, Oracle, and MySQL. Depending on your goal, RCMS also allows you to export content into any format, including XML, so your data is always yours.

Easy-To-Use

Accessing content is easy using the RCMS Web Administrator Tool, which is a stand-alone web site. Users simply go to the web address for the site, and login using their credentials. Managers can create users and groups, and assign permissions to access content.

Content can be organized in any number of ways depending on what makes sense for the type of information being stored. Content is organized into a familiar folder structure, which is easy to understand and manage.

Built Using Proven Technology

RCMS is built on top of proven software packages, such as Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, Microsoft Internet Information Services, Macromedia ColdFusion Server, Microsoft SQL 2000, and Microsoft Access database systems. RCMS can also be deployed using any relational database system, or web server.

Multi-platform Support

The default method to access content is done using the RCMS Administrator Tool, which is a stand-alone web site providing user-level access to RCMS databases. The Administrator Tool runs on the latest versions of Internet Explorer and Netscape on Windows, Macintosh, and Linux.

Content Distribution

RCMS provides mechanisms to publish content in any number of ways. Because content is stored in a relational database, it can be exported to target any content consumer such as a web site, a PDF document, or other electronic or printed media.
