Enables organizations to quickly build and deploy Internet, intranet, extranet sites by streamlining the web publishing process. Once deployed, CMS keeps a site up-to-date through a variety of content management features, from enabling the individual user-controlled refreshes to enforcing enterprise-wide site infrastructure rules.

Microsoft Content Management Server Field Guide provides simple crisis-management instructions for intermediate- to advanced-level network administrators who work in the trenches. It offers practical procedural information, reference materials, and focused presentations. This book also features self-contained topics so you do not have to look further to obtain prerequisite information. Microsoft Content Management Server (CMS) streamlines the web publishing process like nothing else out there. CMS integrates with a wide variety of high-end Microsoft products--for example, Visual Studio .NET for website development and SQL Server for content storage. CMS also works with SharePoint Portal Server for document management and search, and construction of knowledge work portals; with Microsoft Word for content authoring and publishing; and with Commerce Server for content profiling, personalization, and web analysis.
