There are many important management capabilities to ensure a successful digital strategy. We've outlined our core capabilities available within eZ Publish Enterprise. 

Front-end editing, role-based authoring, powerful back end administration

With eZ Publish’s Front End editing toolbar, you publish articles, video, pictures, and files directly from your web browser within the current web site. Simply log in to publish, move, replace or translate any content, or carry out any Content Management operation for which you have access in the system.
  
Depending on your role, you could be a simple user needing only occasional access to publish a certain type of content to certain sections of the site, or a user with full permissions. eZ Publish Front End editing will adapt to your permissions and your role, fitting your profile, and ensuring a simple, clearly defined, secure, and engaging user experience!

Manage rich content as simply as basic text!

Modern Content Management requires editing any kind of content, not just text. Powerful eZ Publish tools manage your rich content, video, or images.

The eZ Publish Online Image Editor gets rid of the need for painfully slow download and upload operations. Editors and authors can work with images directly, without dedicated image software installed on their computer. Save time and money!

The eZ Publish Multiple Uploader enables users to upload and process large batches of assets, video and documents with a click. Put an end to demoralizing, repetitive operations. The system automatically recognizes Content Type, and will use the right process to integrate the content by transforming or transcoding, generating thumbnails, or importing rich XML content. 

The online editor offers powerful XML-based rich text editing

The eZ Publish Online Editor is a powerful, easy-to-use WYSIWYG rich text editor featured in both the Front End editing and Administration Interfaces. It works with all your content types, including rich text editorial elements.

The Online Editor is integrated into the website (no HTML coding required) and provides formatting functions similar to word processing applications. Users with even the most minimal application experience will quickly feel at home. All content is stored separately from its presentation, is fully XML-based, and integrates fully with the eZ Publish Media Library to make reusing content or uploading of new digital assets a snap. Recently the online editor has been improved for the use by disabled people, following recommendations from the WAI.

The admin interface, a powerful tool for power users, a vision in simplicity

Front End editing is the best choice for many occasions, as Content Management often requires a light and easy way to work with content. However, most sites still need the intervention of power users who go beyond simple content management, administering the system, defining content types, or creating users and tuning their roles and policies.

With power users in mind, eZ Publish comes with a newly re-vamped and re-thought Administration Interface, which is both a very powerful and productive tool. Usable and highly ergonomic features like full-screen editing mode, or the dynamic interface settings, make using the administration panel an engaging experience, and allow administrators to get things done efficiently and productively!

Define and structure content assets without programming

The eZ Publish Content Engine puts you in control via a simple web user interface, and without any programming. Define a content structure simply and easily. The visionaries at eZ made the Content Engine a core feature of eZ Publish years ago, but it is still an unparalleled design, and one that truly comes into its own with the advent of multichannel publishing. With eZ Publish, you can define your content structures in a few clicks, relying on an extensible list of data types to compose your content structures, including rich XML content, images, streaming video, categorization, tagging, dates, complex metadata sets, and so on. Don’t let today’s content demands get the best of you, get the best out of your content! 

Create a collection of building blocks for your front pages, and reuse them with no headaches

The Web is complex, but an approach that works in one place will often work at another. For example, you may want to reuse blocks across multiple front pages, or from one landing page to another. You can easily accomplish this by using the collection of built-in blocks provided in eZ Publish, or by developing your own with their own idiosyncratic features. Your imagination is your only limitation.

Version control, roles and permissions system, the keys to an effective collaboration

Thanks to the power of the eZ Publish platform when it comes to managing users, user profiles, roles and permissions, it's easy to engage all the users of your online applications and enable collaborations in any scenario. Collaboration is one of the core concepts that has been kept in mind when designing the system. For that, the system can give you control on how to define your various populations of users, what permissions you can give to them and what interaction they can have all together—the essence of online collaboration.

Version control means supervisors, content managers or editors-in-chief can check for inconsistency or errors in your content. eZ Publish automatically tracks which content changes were made by whom, and at what time, and provides the option to revert content to previous versions, simultaneously protecting your content, and taking some of the pressure off of your staff. Version conflicts can be quickly discussed and addressed by all the stakeholders using eZ Publish’s Collaboration functions.

eZ Publish gives you not only an unlimited range of possibilities, but also the opportunity to strongly keep control, whatever your policy is. Not all online business requires the same rules and configurations. eZ Publish will give you both the control and the flexibility in the way the various users of your applications collaborate.

eZ Teamroom, team collaboration made simple: your out of the box collaboration portal for your organization

Depending of your needs, you might need a tailor-made or a ready to go collaboration solution. Good news, eZ Publish can provide both.

eZ Teamroom is an add-on provided on top of eZ Publish which will give you the key to a very rich team collaboration solution—the perfect tool to enable collaboration within an existing organization. eZ Teamroom gives your users access to a modern Enterprise 2.0 portal where they will be able to organize various online spaces for their team activities: teamroom.

In each teamroom, users will easily collaborate using all the features of the Enterprise 2.0 collaboration: Information sharing, team blogging, wiki, tasks and calendars, team document repository and management. It's the perfect solution to build and document a team activity.

And as Teamroom is based on eZ Publish, Teamroom can be extended in the same ways as eZ Publish can. New content types, new layout, new workflow, new channels—it is up to you to extend and leverage even more the solution for your needs.

eZ Content Cockpit

The eZ Content Cockpit helps editors and marketers effectively manage the online business strategy and goals.

It is hard to keep content up-to-date and process user feedback in a timely manner in large, complex websites. The eZ Content Cockpit is completely integrated with eZ Publish® Enterprise Edition and helps editors and marketers effectively manage the online business strategy and goals.

The eZ Content Cockpit offers a level of analysis to your Web Content Management (WCM) that allows marketers and editors to deliver improved content to your online visitors. The user-friendly interface provides key data like content resubmission dates, collected user feedback (by star rating) and website user-statistics in a central location. eZ Content Cockpit’s library of content allows editors and marketers to easily access the content and turn around new pages and changes faster, based on user feedback. Access to the Cockpit reduces duplication of information and ensures greater consistency of content across your online presence. eZ Content Cockpit is designed for all website editors to collaborate in a productive manner.

Editorial and automatic content desk: the modern way to push news to your audience

When it comes to getting information to an audience, many different use cases often work side by side. Some content is highly editorial, with a long life-span, such that web managers may prefer precise control over which information is on the front page hot spot. Other content, such as breaking news, is highly volatile, and will quickly melt under the glare of the Frontpage spotlight.

eZ Publish, with the eZ Flow extension, provides an extremely intuitive user interface to control the flow of the content that appears on your front pages.

Create fully automated block listings, or define manually controlled queues for each of the blocks. Set up a simple shuffle rotation of your content. Why not have content float from one block to another? All of these possibilities are available via a very simple interface which requires minimal effort to manage!
