CommonSpot Provides Just the Right Conditions for Growth.
CommonSpot’s open architecture provides you with a scalable foundation upon which to grow your organization—whether scaling to accommodate growth in website traffic; or growing your website as your organization grows organically, via acquisition, or by expanding your ecosystem of customers and partners. CommonSpot:
- Minimizes growing pains by enabling you to easily relate new information as it is introduced
Growing your organization doesn’t have to be an arduous undertaking. CommonSpot enables you to easily bind, relate and re-use newly introduced content and information. Whether adding new departments or business units, you can easily scale your information architecture—without having to devise a new implementation strategy. CommonSpot lets you seamlessly target and link newly introduced content into existing areas of your site using its rich metadata capabilities, without affecting your sites overall architecture.
- Integrates with new and best-in-class applications as they are introduced to the market
CommonSpot has a completely open architecture which enables organizations to easily integrate with existing front- and back-office systems, or new applications as they are introduced. You can easily integrate your own code into a page, or leverage existing application code within a page where CommonSpot manages the surrounding design.
CommonSpot’s architecture also allows developers to leverage the power of ColdFusion to extend and customize the system to suit your exact business needs. Whether integrating with your ERP system or a new Web component, CommonSpot works in concert with your infrastructure, providing seamless integration for support through the entire content lifecycle.
- Jumpstarts development initiatives as your needs evolve for faster time to market
CommonSpot’s powerful custom application development framework makes it easy to develop custom applications and move them into production using the system’s out-of-the-box APIs and UI components. Once completed, CommonSpot users can share new applications with others in the CommonSpot community in an open source-like fashion.
Deploying applications built within the framework allows organizations to take advantage of best practices and best-of-breed applications developed by others in the community to help jumpstart development initiatives. CommonSpot also enables you to customize these applications as your organization grows and changes making applications highly scalable instead of fixed and inflexible as seen in many CMS’.
- Empowers users to create new areas of the site without losing control of the brand
You’ve introduced a new division into your organization. You shouldn’t have to introduce a new Web design to go with it. CommonSpot’s template architecture allows you to scale your design so you can grow your site easily. Whether adding a whole new area of the site or integrating an entirely new business, you can easily extend the main design template and avoid re-inventing the wheel.
- Improves productivity by enabling you to assign extensive roles and permissions for new users, and redefine roles as responsibilities change
CommonSpot gives users the power to run their own area of the website through assigned roles and permissions, whether creating pages and templates, adding users or assigning rights. But what happens when roles change or new roles are introduced? The system changes right with you. CommonSpot enables you to easily add new users, or change roles for existing users as they evolve making it easy to scale your organization.
- Seamlessly connects with your partner and customer ecosystem to enable them to help nurture and grow your business
CommonSpot’s template architecture enables you to easily extend your site infrastructure as you add new partners or customers (students, constituents, patients, etc), without having to develop a new design. Whether via a secure extranet or more public-facing content and applications, CommonSpot gives you the tools you need to enable partners and customers to contribute and interact with their own sections of the website, or with specific applications (such as events and blogs) so your ecosystem can help nurture and grow your organization by getting the word out for you.
Scalability can be the difference between stagnant growth and a thriving business. Create the right conditions for growth by implementing a scalable CMS and achieve your organization’s full long-term potential.
