(57) ABSTRACT

Content providers, such as research departments in a ?nan cial services organization that prepare research reports, can use a Content Management Application (CMA) to self publish content to a network. Users, such as internal users,

e.g., ?nancial advisors, and external users, such as the organiZation’s clients, can access the content via the net Work. An administrator uses the CMA to de?ne a hierarchy

of nodes, and to entitle speci?c content providers to upload content to speci?ed nodes. The content providers may entitle their content to certain platforms and user groups. The content providers can directly publish content to make it readily available, and thereby feature the latest research or other information. The content providers can update links on the display to link to neW or updated content. A Content Display Application (CDA) is used to display the appropri ate content to the entitled users.
