Objective
A large amount of information is being published
every day on web pages. The content on the site

syndicating the content assets of an organization
using one centralized system.

What is A Rond CMS ?

• A Rond CMS is an integrated system that allows
  collecting and managing information, preparing it
  as digital content and publishing it across
  dedicated distribution channels such as web
  sites, e-mail newsletters, and mobile devices.
• A Rond CMS enables large organizations to better
  control the daunting process of content
  management.

What can A Rond CMS do for you?

• Update content with a click anytime from anywhere
  you have an Internet connection
• Allow access by many content contributors from
  different departments
• Pull together different types of media assets in
  addition to basic text and graphics
• Deliver personalized and syndicated content
• Maintain the reliability and quality of the site.
  Broken links, missing images and invalid e-mail
  addresses are just not acceptable
• Measure and audit the content collection and
  publishing process to meet efficiency, quality,
  and legal standards.

Business Benefits

• Enable Faster, Less Expensive Content Updates
• Traditionally, content is published by a
  Webmaster whose main responsibility is the
  technology, not the content of the site. The CMS
  removes the need for a technical person to
  collect, prepare and publish content. Thus, a
  bottleneck is avoided and costs are reduced.
• Increase Content Accuracy, Quality, and Value
• Companies face delays in publishing new content
  or in correcting errors. Business users are more
  likely to understand the value of accurate,
  relevant content than technical staff or other
  non-business users.
• Centrally Manage Site Development and Deployment
• The CMS provides a simple mechanism for
  packaging content, resources, and pages, making
  it easier to distribute throughout the
  organization.
• Facilitate New Opportunities
• By creating RSS data feeds with A Rond CMS, your
  content can be syndicated to other web sites or
  WAP devices.

What a CMS cannot do for you

• It does not automatically organize your content
  for you. It certainly gives you the tools to help
  you structure and organize your content.
• It does not create content, it only manages it.
• It does not create a website or new website
  pages.
• It does not replace documented work flow
  processes. The system only gives some software
  tools for work flow management and publishing.
