Short description: Discontinued Microsoft server technology


Microsoft Content Management Server (MCMS) is a discontinued Microsoft product intended for small to medium enterprises that require content management functionality on their web site, intranet or portal.

History

Microsoft Content Management Server was originally developed by a Canadian software company named NCompass Labs Inc. It was first marketed as ActiveEnterprise in 1997[1] and later changed its name to NCompass Resolution.[2] In 2001 NCompass Labs was purchased by Microsoft for $36 million dollars[3] and the product was re-released under MCMS branding. [4]

MCMS 2002

Some of the features offered by this product:[4]

  • Inline content-editing
  • Built-in security model for authors, editors, moderators, template designers, channel managers, and administrators
  • Integrates with Visual Studio, Visual Studio .NET 2003 and Visual Studio 2005
  • Some out-of-the-box placeholders (which are essentially editable portions of a page)
  • Support for multi-language content through parallel channel an connected posting
  • Customizable workflow

Discontinuation

The web content management capabilities of MCMS 2002 were integrated into Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.[5] New functionality such as Enterprise Content Management, Business Intelligence, and search has also been included. Mainstream support ended 14 April 2009, and extended support ended 8 April 2014.[6]
