9. Who Is “Enterprise”? Australia

10. What is “Enterprise” Enterprise Level consideration High Availability High performance / throughput Corporate standards for look and feel Reuse and repurposing of content Complex deployment topologies Large numbers of personalized users Heightened security

11. Enterprise Web Sites How does CMS make for easier enterprise development, out-of-the-box Highly scalable, both vertically (SMP) and horizontally (web farms) A robust templating environment that enforces standards if required An API that provides the ability to create, update and retrieve content for syndication Deployment that allows for easy migration of data between tiers Workflow for editing and publishing

13. Extending CMS How can you customize CMS for further enterprise integration Deployment topology Set up CMS to have different development, authoring, test and production environments Deployment can make the migration of change from one tier to another easy Incremental deployment vs. full deployment

14. Extending CMS How can you customize CMS for further enterprise integration External systems integration API allows for full access to almost all CMS functionality Web Services make it easy to interact with external systems When connecting to external systems, make sure you have a way to monitor the connection Make sure you use the latest server side toolkits for SOAP 3 / XML 4.
