Portals and Content Management

Content management consists of maintaining and rendering content for web presentations. A content management system is typically used to do this. But if you're working on a more sophisticated web site, this isn't enough.

Content Management from a Software Architecture Perspective

Integrating the content management system with existing components, providing individual templates, implementing user interaction, personalising the web site: these are all things that call for individual software development. This software development has to meet a variety of requirements. Authors and editors are interested in an easy-to-use CMS client that allows for quick editing. The organisation that runs the site often wants the content to feature the corporate design. Developers are interested in software that is easy to maintain, reusable and efficient.

The primary architecture principle here is the separation of model and presentation -- a principle that comes in various facets when setting up the software architecture for a sophisticated web site. Based on a vast project experience, I can offer support for the definition and implementation for such a software architecture.

Internet Portals

Portals extend web presentations in the sense that they not only present content, but also provide an common platform for web applications. The web turns into a platform for application integration.

As a consequence, a smooth application integration becomes a major issue when architecting internet portals, for which I also offer support.
