The Business Problem

Stale, wrong or inappropriate content

No Process

Inconsistency

Managing Role based security

.Net enabledEmpowerment: Business users can publish using Word XP or directly on the site

Enablement: Developers can rapidly develop robust Web applications and Web services

Integration: A Framework for EAI

Scalable, manageable, Secure and Performance

Who Is “Enterprise”?

Australia

What is “Enterprise”

Enterprise Level consideration

High Availability

High performance / throughput

Corporate standards for look and feel

Reuse and repurposing of content

Complex deployment topologies

Large numbers of personalized users

Heightened security

Enterprise Web Sites

How does CMS make for easier enterprise development, out-of-the-box

Highly scalable, both vertically (SMP) and horizontally (web farms)

A robust templating environment that enforces standards if required

An API that provides the ability to create, update and retrieve content for syndication

Deployment that allows for easy migration of data between tiers

Workflow for editing and publishing

Extending CMS

How can you customize CMS for further enterprise integration

Caching.NET output cache

CMS rights based cache

Control caching and fragment caching

Cache invalidation using CMS state changes

Extending CMS

How can you customize CMS for further enterprise integration

Deployment topologySet up CMS to have different development, authoring, test and production environments

Deployment can make the migration of change from one tier to another easy

Incremental deployment vs. full deployment

Extending CMS

How can you customize CMS for further enterprise integration

External systems integrationAPI allows for full access to almost all CMS functionality

Web Services make it easy to interact with external systems

When connecting to external systems, make sure you have a way to monitor the connection

Make sure you use the latest server side toolkits for SOAP 3 / XML 4.

Site creation tips

Processes and systems needed to develop and deploy

Good requirements of the needed system

Buyoff from mgmt, development and test

A test plan and setup that allows for testing both content (editorial testing) and application

A test lab that conforms as close as possible to the publishing topology

A set of repeatable test cases that map onto the real world scenarios

Security Tips

Do not install unnecessary server side support for CMS applications on runtime servers

Office ConnectorSite DeploymentSite ManagerWeb Author

Do not install client software on runtime serversSite ManagerVS.NET

Mark runtime servers CMS entry points as read-onlyLock down SCA

Local access only or Remote with SSL from internal network onlyDo not install into IIS Admin site
