Dynamic Site Framework (DSF) is a Microsoft SQL Server-based enterprise content management tool that simplifies Web site creation and maintenance. With DSF's advanced automation, you can create a dozen sites in less time than it takes to create a single site by hand.
DSF Web sites can be interlinked, sharing content, registered user lists, calendar events, even their templates and settings. Content sharing with non-DSF sites can be accomplished via XML. Documentation and tools are provided to allow developers to connect DSF with existing business applications, giving you a seamless online presence.

Centralized Management
Manage information with powerful tools that allow casual users, as well as Web experts, to easily update Web pages from multiple locations. Staging, versioning and approval routing via email means only accurate and current information reaches your site.
DSF enforces compliance with accessibility requirements of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, such as requiring "alt" text for every image. When used properly, DSF tools help ensure that every site you build is 508 compliant.
By streamlining Web site deployment, DSF helps you respond more quickly to changing business needs. It only takes a couple of minutes to create an entirely new site in DSF, ready for you to enter content. Develop an online presence for every client or project.
Use polling and surveys to gather user data, then take advantage of DSF's built-in registration tools to set custom roles for groups or individuals. Your users and customers will have access to information targeted to them, delivering higher ROI and productivity.
The integrated visual development environment enables Web teams to build sites without the need to write a line of code. It is also designed to enable people with different skill sets and with minimal training to produce content rapidly.
Open, Extensible Environment
DSF is an open, extensible environment, supporting integration with JAVA, VB, XML, and COM based applications.
Roles-Based Collaboration
DSF allows multiple people to work on the Web site without adversely affecting one another. It allows a master administrator to restrict access based on individual or group roles.
DSF can be configured to enforce a structured review process prior to content publishing. Staged content cannot be published to the site without being approved by designated reviewers.
DSF provides the ability to work on multiple sites. A top-level site can be the parent of many subsites all of which can share content, templates and other data in a variety of ways (see next).
Content Sharing with Syndication
Site administrators can create content “blueprints” and make them available throughout the DSF domain space, ensuring that changes made to the syndicated data are cascaded to all subscribing sites. Synchronization routines provided by the DSF Aware service perform the task of making all sites in all DSF Installations aware of available publications.
Leverage Existing IT Skills
DSF works in harmony with your business-critical applications-- no need to completely retrain development teams or replace investments. With DSF, not only can you ease the transition to technologies like ASP, XML and COM, you can leverage years of investments in people, data and applications.
