CMS Platform improves upon SimIS CMS.
What is SimIS CMS? Agile, Enterprise, Open Source Content Management System (CMS) and Portal.
SimIS CMS comes out-of-the-box with modules, advanced security, easy setup, and powerful developer features. Use and configure what's there, and customize what's not. The flexible Open Source license lets you move beyond the technology to focus on delivering a quality website.
- It's well-maintained
- You can publish your website as a completely static website
- Use CMS Platform's UI across your team to compose web changes including content, navigation, layout, Javascript, CSS, etc.
- Then publish static copies (without draft content) with features like:
- SEO naming conventions
- Redirects
- Caching
- PDF downloads
- Streaming videos
- There's a refined Enterprise SSO integration with OAuth2 endpoint discovery and user groups
- The site and deployment properties can be completely configured through environment variables

Need a website or web portal? CMS Platform can be used from Day 1:
- Once installed the administrator signs in and can quickly create a sitemap. Working on their own, or with others, the pages of the site are added.
- Each web page can have shared elements and styles, as well as their own elements and styles.
- A designer can work on the site's global style and layout, then target page-by-page improvements, while content authors fill out the web page content.
- Content authors work with the page elements which include searchable text, images, and videos. There are many dynamic elements which can be selected, including slideshows, news feeds, calendar events, blog posts, and more.
- For more complex components, a developer can work both online and off to enable the functionality or create it.
