Previously known as cmPublish, the Clickability Platform is a CMS with a different approach on content management.  Developed by CMS provider Clickability, this platform is delivered on an on-demand basis, as well as full service with the company’s “Innovation as a Service” solution.  Aside from content management, the Clickability Platform also offers analytics, email campaign, web 2.0 and advertising among other functionality.  While there is obviously far more to the Clickability Platform than content management, this is indeed the focal point of the package.

Core Technologies

Though a licensed commercial product, Clickability Platform is based on powerful open-source technologies such as PHP, MySQL and Java.  It utilizes Apache as its web server and Velocity for the templating system.  Even though you have to pay for a license, the leveraging of various popular open-source tools makes Clickability Platform a cost effective CMS product.

Clickability Content

The main content entity in the Clickability environment is the item.  Authors have the ability to create content items by selecting various types of content from the navigation pane.  This CMS gives you a number of different content items out of the box, including jobs, blogs, press releases, case studies and FAQs.  Furthermore, custom content types can be created as well.   The templating system is a major part of the process as it allows you to actually get the content on your web pages.  These templates can be tailored to display numerous types of content in different sections of a single page.  While this feature caters to beginners, Clickability Platform also has something for developers with advanced creation environments and other customizing assets such as stylesheets.

Additional Features

Clickability Platform certainly isn’t short on features.  The package bundles streamlined content management capabilities alongside a host of SEO tools, Web 2.0, capabilities and the following list of features:

Newsletters – Publishers can create a newsletter of content and automatically distribute it to subscribers.  They can also manage mailing lists and have the ability to provide subscribers with double opt-in capabilities.

Advertising - Adverting functionality is tightly integrated into the Clickability Platform.  This allows administrators to create and maintain campaigns as well as all the details that go along with them.  Because ads are considered content pieces, they have targets that provide administrators with a way to track and keep up with the history of their performance.

cmSideKick – Clickability Platform allows you to run your website in the browser and the intuitive cmSideKick in a second frame.  cmSideKick is a utility that enables you to perform deep analyzation of statistics, allowing you to view your site in the administrator mode or selective views to modify certain areas.  This is one tool that you are likely to put to great use in the Clickability environment.

Conclusion

Clickability has come a long way since its days as cmPublish.  However, it has managed to maintain all the basics of content management and received some nice upgrades to compliment the emerging technologies and web trends.  Clickability Platform is definitely a enterprise CMS solution and can help to satisfy the needs of businesses of all sizes.

Created by software company Day Software, CQ5 is a content management system centered around a powerful set of management features and various Web 2.0 technologies.  This CMS is geared towards webmasters who want to distance themselves from the complexities of IT and simply have an enjoyable environment to work in.  According to Kevin Cochrane, Day CMO, content management should no longer be just about functionality and ease of use, but fun and unleashing innovation from within.  These are benefits that also extend to developers as CQ5 gives them their chance at new ActionScript and JavaScript API’s as well as an infrastructure based on many open-source technologies and standards.  However, the inexperienced user may have a tough time finding themselves around.

Primary Features

When looking at the list of features, you can tell that Day put a lot of sweat into the most recent version of CQ5.   While many CMS vendors are steering clear of Web 2.0, fearing it will soon be eclipsed by the Semantic Web 3.0, Day is one company that puts a huge emphasis on it.  Some of its key features enable blog, forum and calendering functionality to help users incorporate that community like feel into their sites.  The application also comes included with a number of pre-installed widgets for site enhancement.  Web forms, comments, tags, slideshows, RSS feeds and wikis are just a few of the elements that can be used to encourage visitor interaction on you website.

Media Management Tools

CQ5 has a nicely integrated facility that makes it easy to maintain a variety of digital media assets.  Some of the most notable features allow you to manage audio and video, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF file formats, watermarking and format transcoding.  One of CQ5’s best qualities from a user aspect is image editing.  The platform allows full image rendering and has some pretty nice editing features.  Unlike many other content management tools, CQ5 offers a browser-based cropping functionality for getting the most out of your photos as you can easily crop, rotate, map and flush images.

Backup and Recovery

CQ5 truly excels in terms of its backup and recovery functionality.  The newest version offers a hot backup utility that allows you to create backups of your entire file system.  This includes content, configuration files, modules and web scripts.  Restoring a complete CQ5 instance is a simple as extracting the backup from the zip file and restarting the system.  This could be a great benefit that saves a company a lot time, money and valuable resources.  All it takes a single click and all data is sent to Quickstart bundled file for disaster recovery purposes, allowing you to backup and restore your business environment in minutes.

Conclusion

While the new and improved GUI brings some user-friendliness to the product, CQ5 is a CMS best suited for advanced users.  Developers can truly benefit from this tool as it packages together a powerful set of web technologies.  It is the sophisticated and robust environment that takes away from its usability and makes this tool a little much for beginners.
