Hannon Hill - Enterprise Web Content Management

ATLANTA, GA - April 28, 2011 -- Hannon Hill Corporation has released the most recent version of the company's web content management system, Cascade Server 6.8.

Cascade Server 6.8, which was released in beta in December, introduces several new major features and improvements. Included in the final release of 6.8 is a Google Analytics connector which connects Cascade Server to the industry-standard web analytics tool for providing marketers and website stakeholders with insights into their website traffic. Cascade’s Google Analytics connector syncs analytics data to Cascade to provide CMS users access to “in-context” analytics for individual assets and Sites.

Another major improvement in 6.8 is Parallel Publishing. With this feature, content publishers across multiple Sites in an organization are now able to publish their content simultaneously. Each Site has its own publish queue and can publish up to two jobs at once. This feature allows publishers to prioritize their own Site’s publish jobs and to publish out one-off changes to content while other bigger publish jobs are being processed.

Also included in Cascade Server 6.8 is a native image editing tool. This feature allows contributors to make small image changes which previously would have required an external tool like Photoshop to perform. The simple, built-in image editor addresses the need for quick image edits.

Cascade Server 6.8 also includes several other enhancements such as Rendering Metrics which provide built-in profiling on a per-page basis. This feature helps you identify hotspots in page rendering so that you can optimize performance of your CMS. Other features in this release include more fine-grained control over publishing schedules and several other features aimed at allowing end-users to navigate and work within the system more effectively.
