CoreMedia 7 Empowers Business and IT Users to Rapidly Create Highly Contextual, Mobile and Social Customer Experiences

HAMBURG, Germany and SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- CoreMedia, a leading Web Content Management (WCM) company, today announced CoreMedia 7, the latest release of its innovative WCM platform. CoreMedia 7 is designed to help enterprises keep pace and thrive in the rapidly-changing business landscape that is driven by mobility, social engagement, on-demand technology and content-driven customer interactions. With CoreMedia 7, both business and IT users can respond to the pressure to quickly deliver relevant and engaging content to their customers across multiple channels. As a result, businesses can rapidly innovate online, enhance customer experience management capabilities and create revenue-generating customer experiences.

According to IT analyst firm Gartner, business today is being shaped by four "Nexus of Forces" -- social, mobile, cloud and information. A recent report notes, "The forces combine to empower individuals as the forces interact with one another and their information through well-designed ubiquitous technology. Organizations of all types can harness the power of the Nexus to engage with their customers and staff, learn through the observation of behavior and interaction patterns, and create compelling experiences."[i] With CoreMedia 7, businesses will be able to capitalize on these market drivers, making it simpler and faster to deliver highly-engaging, contextual and interactive cross-channel experiences at every stage of the customer journey.

CoreMedia 7 Key Features and Benefits:

    --  Embrace a Mobile-first World - CoreMedia enhanced CoreMedia 7 with more
        advanced and comprehensive mobile publishing options than any other
        system on the market. Companies can create unified experiences across
        all mobile channels and delivery models - Web apps, native apps,
        responsive Web pages and legacy devices. CoreMedia 7 can adapt to any
        visitor on any channel, providing contextual and social content support
        on any mobile device.
    --  Make Cloud Computing Work for the Enterprise - CoreMedia 7 allows
        enterprises to deploy to the cloud while maintaining security integrity,
        visibility, scalability and control. With this release, CoreMedia goes
        beyond the limited "cloud ready" capabilities of other WCM platforms to
        put the best of cloud technology to work, making it easier for
        businesses to deploy portions of their implementations in the cloud.
        Furthermore, businesses have the flexibility to choose any cloud
        deployment environment, whether it be on-premise, cloud, virtual or
        hybrid.
    --  Support Social Interactions - CoreMedia 7 arms companies to seamlessly
        manage content generated from two separate sources, internal and
        external. The platform deeply integrates CoreMedia's Elastic Social
        software, which leverages NoSQL architecture to help enterprises easily
        scale to support growing social conversations. CoreMedia 7 also includes
        advanced social tools for interacting with community members, publishing
        social content and moderating activity.
    --  Deliver Highly-Contextual Content - Today's business decisions are
        driven by content with context. To make customer interactions
        profitable, businesses must deliver the right content to the user at
        every stage of the customer journey. New features in CoreMedia 7 make it
        easier for all users to create highly-targeted, contextualized
        experiences for current and potential customers.
    --  Empower Users Across Departments - With this release, CoreMedia
        optimized CoreMedia Studio, its editorial hub for business users, to
        incorporate a customizable user dashboard and over 70 performance and
        usability enhancements. Using a single, intuitive information-based
        editorial interface, business users can design customer experiences -
        moving way beyond the traditional page-based tools. They can launch new
        online web properties, campaigns and microsites quickly without IT
        support. CoreMedia 7 also more deeply engrains Blueprint, its rapid Web
        development solution, offering a wealth of out-of-the-box solution
        components and pre-configured templates that is already proving to
        dramatically reduce implementation times.
