4 Good Reasons To Upgrade Ektron CMS to Version 9 Right Now
Ektron has always focused on making their awardwinning content management system (CMS) as userfriendly as they possibly can. As such, it is hardly a surprise that their latest feature pack, which upgrades existing installations to Ektron 9, features a host of enhancements geared towards improving user experience. Whether you are launching a new website, or already have a site with Ektron in the back end, it is in your best interests to go for the upgrade right now, which would let you do the following without breaking a sweat:
Be Bore Responsive
Everyone's talking about responsive web design these days and how it changes the entire browsing experience for users, for the better. However, very few providers of content management systems have bothered to do anything worthwhile to support responsive web design, forcing developers to take the manual approach towards getting the job done. Ektron
CMS, on the other hand, comes with complete support for responsive web designing. That means you only need to develop your website once, for either desktop web, or tablet devices, or smartphones. All the other types of devices will be automatically supported.
Walk Among The Clouds
Need to use cloud storage but dismayed to find your present CMS does not offer glitchfree support for it? Well, Ektron 9 will ensure you can never complain about the lack of this functionality. Apart from retaining complete support for Microsoft Azure cloud computing platform, the Cloud Manager built into the CMS will now also offer seamless support for Amazon's EC2 platform. So, if you have been planning to opt use EC2 for a new project, you are in luck. Beside, you also have the option of creating a hybrid cloud
computing environment once you switch to Ektron 9, which alone makes the upgrade worth it.
Put On Your Editor's Glasses
What good is a CMS without a userfriendly editor? No one has the time to search through the interface looking for controls, or learn HTML codes just to add multimedia elements to the content of a page. The interface of the editor has been completely remade from the ground up in Ektron 9. Builtin styles will help you add images to your content in a hasslefree manner. You can add HTML bookmarks and external content (such as videos) to your content. What's more, the CMS will also automatically validate your content for 508 compliance. This is more stuff than many other content management systems manage to implement in two or more major upgrades, and forms yet another reason for you to go for Ektron 9 right away.
Share Freely And Happily
No, there is no new content sharing module for social media in Ektron 9. Instead, Ektron has decided to make life easier for users of Microsoft SharePoint this time. If you are already using SharePoint to collaborate on content projects with fellow employees or group members, you will now be able to upload content directly to the Ektronpowered website, directly through SharePoint. What's more, any content you modify or remove from SharePoint will be affected similarly in the website, instantly! What more could you ask for?
Ektron 9 makes life a lot easier for owners of websites, and helps web developers implement latest technologies almost effortlessly. If you haven't done this upgrade yet, now would be a great time to go for it. ties.
