<BODY> <h1>Ecru Enterprise Content Management </h1> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td bgcolor="#b1b9c0"><h1>Ecru Enterprise Content Management </h1></td> </tr> <tr> <td><p>Enterprise Content management systems have traditionally struggled to achieve accessibility, let alone being accessible to W3C Priority 2 standards. Ecru assisted in the development of an enterprise content management system that fulfils this objective, and goes to great lengths to achieve ease of use. The system was implemented for EDF Energy in the UK, one of the largest energy suppliers in the world. You can view the EDF Energy website at edfenergy.com </p> <p>Before Ecru builds your website we establish your objectives for accessibility. There are, after all, many factors that need to be taken into consideration, including branding, dynamism, and creativity. The realisation that many businesses have made is that accessibility is not just a legal and moral requirement, it allows your business to interact with members of our community who have equal rights with those who have no difficulty browsing the web. </p> <p>To discuss your next web project, please visit Ecru for <a href="http://www.ecru.co.uk">web design and development services </a></p> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="10"> <tr> <td class="small" valign="top">content management trend <br> content flash in management <br> cms content management new portal <br> asp web content management <br> web content management system <br> web site content management software <br> portal content management <br> web site content management tool <br> web content management tool <br> content management wesite <br> content management server <br> content management tool <br> web content management solution <br> learning content management system <br> microsoft content management <br> workflow content management <br> remote kiosk content management <br> php content management system <br> web content management systeem <br> content management conference <br> intranet content management <br> content management system cms <br> browser based content management <br> hosted content management <br> electronic content management <br> content fatwire management <br> asp content free management system <br> internet and content management <br> content management services <br> content management partner <br> site content management <br> content free management ware <br></td> <td class="small" valign="top"><p>content management <br> content management system <br> content management software <br> web content management <br> content management solution <br> enterprise content management <br> web site content management <br> web content management software <br> asp content management <br> content management support <br> content management uk <br> content management systeem <br> xml content management <br> asp content management system <br> catalog content management <br> web content management uk <br> email content management <br> content management product <br> digital content management <br> online content management <br> content management book <br> content management script <br> content management php <br> content management systemen <br> free content management system <br> content management application <br> kiosk content management <br> content management open source <br> content management pharmaceutical <br> content import management trend <br> free content management </p></td> <td class="small" valign="top"><p>content management system software <br> content management system open source <br> web based content management <br> content management cold fusion <br> microsoft content management server <br> web publishing content management software <br> web site content management system <br> web based content management system <br> asp content management using <br> content flash management solution <br> content data management management web <br> content diensten management web <br> content dotnet management system <br> secure content management <br> content core management software <br> content management security <br> content management systeem uitbreiding <br> dynamic content management <br> california content management services <br> content management manchester system <br> vignette content management <br> content contenu de gestion management <br> content definition management <br> content free management software <br> content implementation management system <br> content management online system web <br> content development management services web <br> content management shopsoftware system <br> affordable content management <br> cold content demo fusion management </p></td> </tr> </table> <h2>Web design and development in the UK </h2> <p><a href="http://www.zeuros.co.uk/firewall/">Ecru</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.zeuros.co.uk/moshkow/koi/HITPARAD/">www.zeuros.co.uk/moshkow/koi/HITPARAD/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.zeuros.co.uk/public/">www.zeuros.co.uk/public/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.zeuros.co.uk/firewall/mailist.htm">www.zeuros.co.uk/firewall/mailist.htm</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.zeuros.co.uk/generic/resource/authentication/">www.zeuros.co.uk/generic/resource/authentication/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.zeuros.co.uk">Ecru Accessibility | Accessible Websites</a></p> <p>Ecru welcomes clients from all over the United Kingdom creating custom built database driven web applications using a variety of industry standard development platforms including PHP ASP NET ColdFusion SQL MySQL and Oracle.

This is the integration of business operations and values, where the interests of all stakeholders including investors, customers, employees, and the environment are reflected in the company's policies and actions. Corporate responsibility is no longer a luxury for companies. In today's global economy, it is crucial for companies to embrace social and environmental responsibility in order that they meet the demands of their investors, consumers, employees, and communities they serve. </p> <h2>Accessible content management systems </h2> <p>Exciting and interesting accessible websites can be created by innovative and stimulating web designers but what happens when content management technology comes in to play? The real skill in the development of innovative content management system technology is that the needs of disabled people to access your website content should not be sacrificed because you are delivering dynamic content to your website visitors. </p> <p>This is where new technology is needed, and a careful attention to detail in implementing W3C compliant usable and accessible websites. </p> <p>Graphics enhance accessibility by providing visual cues regarding the meaning and organization of website content. These visual cues help people understand the content better, increasing the accessibility of the content. Although people who are blind aren't able to view the visible aspects of graphics, but that is not a problem because website developers can provide alternative text (alt text) that allows blind users to gain access to the content of graphics with their screen reader software. The result is a Web site that looks fantastic, is easier to understand, and which is still accessible to people who can't see the visual elements. All this while retaining brand value and measurable marketing performance. </p> <p align="center">::: this is a <a href="http://www.revs.org">Revs </a> website :: you need <a href="http://www.thebridgesi.co.uk">change management consulting </a> ::: </p></td> </tr> </table> <h1>Easy Edit </h1> <p><a href="http://www.zeuros.co.uk/firewall/">Ecru</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.zeuros.co.uk/moshkow/koi/HITPARAD/">www.zeuros.co.uk/moshkow/koi/HITPARAD/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.zeuros.co.uk/public/">www.zeuros.co.uk/public/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.zeuros.co.uk/firewall/mailist.htm">www.zeuros.co.uk/firewall/mailist.htm</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.zeuros.co.uk/generic/resource/authentication/">www.zeuros.co.uk/generic/resource/authentication/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.zeuros.co.uk">Ecru Accessibility | Accessible Websites</a></p> <h3>Building effective websites using content management </h3> <p>In order to build an effective web presence your organisation needs: </p> <ul> <li>» An understanding of your business environment and competitive advantages <li>» Creative conceptualisation <li>» Online and offline brand development <li>» Design skills <li>» The ability to employ appropriate technology <li>» Copy writing that is effective and usable for your audience <li>» Marketing and PR <li>» An objective overview <li>» An understanding of the measures of your success <li>» Strategies to adapt </li> </ul> <p>There are very few individuals within any organisation who have all of these skills, which means effective teamwork is essential. Good content management systems acknowledge the need for teamwork, the need to put the right tools in the hands of the right people. </p> <p>Content management is about creating a distinction between the technical side of web development and the business side. Technical people, those who can conceive <a href="../index.php">gorgeous</a>, effective designs, and who can construct gloriously complex but easy to use systems are very rarely the same people who can write a powerful strapline or publish annual corporate report and accounts. </p> <p>Easy Edit , Ecru's content management system acknowledges the distinction between format and content, between technical website development and business acumen. </p> <p>Before content management a technical person was needed to perform all of the work on a website, so an unnecessary bottleneck meant that websites stagnated. If the webmaster is on holiday, or out of the office dealing with a client your corporate website suffers. The result of this technical bottleneck is a website that creates a negative impression of the company it is intended to promote. Easy Edit, Ecru content management solves the bottleneck, making your website more effective. </p> <h3>Content management and your website </h3> <p>Every website is different, with a unique set of objectives, and operating in its own special environment. As we work with you to build your web presence, we think very carefully about structure, identifying the journeys people take through your site, and the way these might change in the future. We acknowledge the need for usability, and the way that publishing in digital media differs in crucial ways from your other business channels, and we make sure that your interaction with your clients is professional, thinking about your need for control and security. </p> <p>The delegation of responsibility for your website throughout your organisation needs to be carefully managed and we have a wealth of practical experience to bring to bear helping organisations make this distribution of control happen effectively. </p> <p>We think about giving your colleagues who deal with the public the ability to edit their own sections of your site, while putting legal terms and conditions in the hands of your solicitors. Placing your translated text in the hands of your outsourced translation service provider or your colleagues in other countries. While ensuring you retain full editorial control. We think about how the text elements of your website interact with other systems that support your web presence, such as online databases, ecommerce systems and bespoke business systems. We also think about the way that we should measure the success of your website, so we consider the way that the whole process works together, where your visitors come from, whether they do what you want them to do, and whether you make money from them. </p> <h3>How do we do this? </h3> <p>We can help establish your brand, and design your website to create the best possible image for your company. We can create technical systems that make your business more effective, easier and more profitable to run. Key to our process is that we deliver you a website that you and your colleagues can maintain yourself without needing any technical skill. If you can edit a document in Microsoft Word, then you will find editing your Easy Edit Ecru website a breeze. We'd like to show you this in action right now! </p> <h2>Accessible Content Management </h2> <h3>Easy Edit For Everyone </h3> <p>Web accessibility is about designing sites for everyone, independent of who they are or how they access the Internet. Specifically it addresses the need of disabled people, giving them greater opportunities to use and interact with the Internet and hence your organisation - and given the introduction of the 1995 UK Disability Discrimination act it is unlawful to provide information that is inaccessible. </p> <p>For organisations that choose Easy Edit, Ecru's unique content management system this isn't a problem. </p> <p>Where other content management systems struggle to meet the needs of disabled users, Easy Edit has been built acknowledging the needs of WC3 accessibility standards. Our long history designing for clients such as the NHS and EDF Energy means we have a keen eye for the finer details of the guidelines because our expert technologists implement our system. </p> <p>Easy Edit reinforces and ably demonstrates your commitment to the millions of people who find it difficult to access information on the Internet. </p> <h2>Effective Document Management </h2> <h3>It's time to sort out document clutter and improve your organisational effectiveness </h3> <p>Effective websites do not just exist to service customer needs they are also essential tools in the way modern businesses are run and administered. Easy Edit ECRU's tailor made content management system takes business administration in it's stride. </p> <p>Your web-based content might well be organised and capable, but what of your documentation? Any form of file or media, be it image, spreadsheet or text can be uploaded, and subsequently sorted by category, date, description or your own set of attributes. This structured approach to documentation has even greater benefits when integrated across your Intranet and Extranet. </p> <h2>One World - many languages </h2> <h3>Easy Edit � A World Of Opportunities </h3> <p>How do you get your message across to over six billion people in two hundred countries? Speaking their language helps, and Easy Edit ECRU's unique content management system can help you do that. </p> <p>Our flexible multilingual system is innovative in that it delivers information in a customer's chosen language. Easy Edit also makes your language translators work easier. Easy Edit tailors a workflow that meets your specific requirements � translated content that you have recently altered is prioritised and queued ready for attention. </p> <p>The benefits are clear. If you need the same content delivered to different markets but in different languages, or you have a market-specific approach but need a consistent look and feel to maintain your corporate brand, then we tailor your website to fit. </p> <h2>A brand apart </h2> <h3>Keeping the look and feel of your website up to date </h3> <p>Design changes, both small and large often present an unnecessary problem for big corporate websites. But not for a website powered by Ecru's Easy Edit content management system. By separating design from content, you can plan a complete change to the design, look and feel of your website, while continuing to manage the day to day content changes and updates that keep your website alive. </p> <p>This means that Easy Edit can help ensure the look and feel of your site is always at the cutting edge. </p> <p>Any alterations from minor tweaks to extensive redesigns can be achieved easily and quickly because content is held within a database - wholly separate from the design templates through which it will be presented. </p> <h2>Don't let the chicken and egg problem hinder your website development </h2> <h3>What comes first, design, structure or website content? </h3> <p>The reality of website development in 2004 is that while you want to create as much certainty within your business planning as possible, the reality is that you need to work at lightning pace, and this means you need to structure web development projects around the realities within which your business operates. </p> <p>With Easy Edit it doesn't matter what comes first. Indeed, your content can be developed without worrying how it will look when it is published, and you don't need to worry unduly if the final structure of your website hasn't been established. Because these elements of your website can be developed in isolation, it doesn't matter which order they come in. </p> <p>With Easy Edit websites, you can navigate through your content in a design free greyscale, tweaking the wording of your text, while the design of your site is still being fleshed out. The real advantage of this process is the faster time to market that you can use to create competitive advantage. </p> <p>If your logo changes at the last minute it doesn't mean that your website development project needs to start again from scratch. </p> <h2>Why use a Content Management system? </h2> <h3>The Technical Bottleneck </h3> <p>It's a common problem that affects a lot of organisations. Urgent information that needs to be uploaded to your website is waiting in an email inbox because the only person who knows how to upload it is away on holiday. </p> <p>This in itself is a difficult situation, but what would happen if your website contained an unmistakable error or worse, some sort of libellous material or inappropriate statement. Could you really afford the potential damage to your name and reputation that such a technical bottleneck could entail? </p> <p>Ecru's content management system Easy Edit is the answer. Responsibility for publishing information on the web can be given those who need it most. Human Resources can post Job vacancies, press releases can be handled by Corporate Communications, and business material can be published immediately by the managers responsible. Your website can become alive, really sparkling, vibrant and current, making your staff feel proud of the organisation they belong to, engaging potential customers and winning respect from peers and competitors. </p> <p> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.viewsource.co.uk">View Source</a> | <a target="_blank" href="http://www.quays.co.uk">Quays</a> | <a target="_blank" href="http://www.heartwarming.co.uk">Heartwarming</a> | <a target="_blank" href="http://www.refreshingideas.co.uk">Refreshing Ideas</a> | <a target="_blank" href="http://www.commitee.com">Commitee</a> | <a target="_blank" href="http://www.conquests.co.uk">Conquests</a></p> <p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.inclusivity.co.uk">Inclusivity</a> | <a target="_blank" href="http://www.dehumidifying.co.uk">Dehumidifying</a> | <a target="_blank" href="http://www.curvature.co.uk">Curvature</a> | <a target="_blank" href="http://www.procrastinating.co.uk">Procrastinating</a> | <a target="_blank" href="http://www.websitemakeover.co.uk">Website Makeover</a> | <a target="_blank" href="http://www.primecuts.co.uk">Prime Cuts</a></p> <p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.wire-less.co.uk">Wireless</a> | <a target="_blank" href="http://www.elipsis.co.uk">Elipsis</a> | <a target="_blank" href="http://www.organization.co.uk">Organization</a> | <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ukwedding.org">UK Wedding</a> | <a target="_blank" href="http://www.retroday.co.uk">Retroday</a> | <a target="_blank" href="http://www.findthetime.org.uk">Find The Time</a></p> </BODY>
