Take total control of WCM publishing without limiting creativity

Picdar’s new software product allows total control of the content publishing lifecycle, including assembly, publication, and expiry of content.
Spanning the entire gamut from asset storage and control, through intelligent content delivery, to site administration and monitoring, Picdar's new suite turns the WCM jigsaw into a set of perfectly matched pieces.

Easily manage & repurpose content
Content is managed and repurposed using the Picdar Active Content Layer, which can power bespoke web applications or provide “traditional” page composition using templates and separate content.
Site design is completely flexible, and Picdar's extensive range of Application Building Cogs (ABCs) provide ready-built tools for everything from shopping baskets to e-commerce. Being channel-neutral, it can deliver to WAP and DiTV as easily as the more traditional WWW.

Full control and monitoring of sites
Site administration and monitoring is handled by Picdar’s Site Control System, which allows every site to be managed from one place. The structure of each site can be viewed and navigated, and the system provides site access statistics, keywording, size control, go live/dead dates and automatic revision roll-over.
The site control system can provide an audit trail of all changes to a site or even a single page, and check-in/check-out tools aid collaborative site development using best-of-breed authoring tools such as Adobe® GoLive® and Macromedia Dreamweaver®.
A time-based control model allows a site to be rolled back to any previous version with just a few clicks, or developers can pre-flight changes to a site prior to them going live.
Designed to work together, the elements of the suite provide an end-to-end solution to web content storage, management and delivery.

Picdar-powered, scalable solution
At the hub of the WCM Suite is Picdar’s Digital Asset Management system, which stores text, pictures and any other kind of digital asset. This hugely scalable system has a proven track-record with blue-chip companies and allows assets to be stored centrally, or distributed reliably across multiple sites. Assets can be accessed from anywhere, but the built-in security system ensures that only those authorised can do so.
