A number of companies have already selected CoreMedia CMS 2005 for their business

Hamburg 20th June 2005 – The new full version of CoreMedia CMS 2005, announced at this year’s CeBIT, is available from today, Monday. CoreMedia CMS 2005, enhanced with a wide range of new features and improvements, cements CoreMedia’s position as one of the leading providers of high-performance content technology.

Intuitive user guidance and innovative design – The CoreMedia WebEditor

In light of the fact that the group of users who create and administer content for websites is set for rapid growth, great care was taken to ensure the new CoreMedia CMS 2005 delivers extremely simple and clear user guidance. The newly-designed and intuitively usable WebEditor, developed in the style of Microsoft Longhorn, offers excellent usability and trouble-free operation.

Its clear, easy-to-understand structure and transparent navigation, working directly from the preview window, minimizes the need for training and reduces costs. Complex editorial processes can be performed at the press of a button. The new editing environment was named the “most attractive in all the ECM land” by the [n:sight] information portal at this year’s CeBIT.

Optimize processes, increase efficiency – The technical features of CoreMedia CMS 2005

The growing number of users and the ever-increasing flood of information present challenges for many companies and make the implementation of intelligent search mechanisms essential for efficient work processes. CoreMedia CMS 2005 uses the multi-award-winning high-performance search technology from FAST InStream for its speedy, efficient, error-tolerant search feature. The full-text search also covers binary data and filters even large results lists, facilitating more efficient editing and content management. Thanks to its out-of-the-box functionality, establishment costs are extremely low.

Multi-Site-Management makes it possible to operate a number of websites using just one system, sinking operational costs by using resources more efficiently. The same content can be run on many different sites, following the desired structure or structures, and in different layouts.

The new business logic, the heart of the content applications, enables the problem-free combination of various data sources by adding a new business logic layer to the architecture. The new component enables CoreMedia CMS 2005 to connect digital business data with central business processes; this can then be presented to the individual user in a way that is context-specific and fully personalized.

Thanks to the new highly dynamic Web Services Engine, other systems can be integrated without effort. Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) makes it possible to loosely integrate a number of different systems. With the outstanding flexibility that the CoreMedia Web Services Engine enables, CoreMedia CMS 2005 delivers significant cost savings and requires less maintenance.

As soon as it was officially announced at the CeBIT technology trade fair in March this year, CoreMedia CMS 2005 won a great deal of positive interest from many sides. Five corporations have already signed up for CoreMedia CMS 2005.

“Digital information is the central economic good of the information society. Companies have to administer their business-critical information better, faster and more securely, if they are to meet the challenges of the future. And that’s exactly how we support demanding businesses. CoreMedia CMS 20005 expands commercial IT by enabling a professional approach to multimedia content, digital information and documented knowledge, as integral parts of the diverse business processes of the company,” said Sören Stamer, founder and CEO of CoreMedia.
