Affiliated Websites with a Unified Theme
Now you can provision and distribute sites to your affiliates that they can easily manage, while you retain centralized control of branding and content within the parent organization. Sitecore’s Foundry provides the solution.
Central control but distributed flexibility
Using the Sitecore Foundry opens up a world of possibilities for organizations wishing to create, deploy and manage an array of web sites from a central location and to harness the power of their business networks. Sitecore Foundry builds upon the industry-leading Sitecore CMS platform and delivers a compelling answer to one of the more difficult-to-solve challenges in web content management today: multi-site management and distribution.
Sitecore Foundry can benefit many different types of organizations from large government entities and municipalities, to regional school districts, to corporations with dealerships, franchisees, etc, and to non-profit organizations with an array of chapters. Any type of organization that has a need to distribute branded websites to a variety of affiliated groups or organizations, while providing guidance and structure to those sites, will benefit from using Sitecore Foundry. The Foundry Solution allows you to create and manage hundred to thousands of sites, allowing organizations to provide flexible distributed websites as needed, with the security and control of a robust, centralized solution.
Accessible for remote site managers
Foundry provides delegated and distributed site management to individual site owners and groups. Within each site, the integrated Site Wizard helps the site’s manager and web editors tailor their websites within minutes. Foundry was designed to support remote, non-technical users, and provides simple, intuitive editing and management controls for even the most inexperienced affiliate. Your site editors will be adding fresh content, local news and calendar updates in no time.
Powerful for Headquarters
Foundry Control Center (FCC) is a built-in capability only for the central administrators. FCC gives administrators ways to manage thousands of sites in a single location, while distributing the day-to-day maintenance to local site managers. Administrators can deploy a new site with a few clicks of a mouse, and within minutes, new site managers will receive an email guiding them to their newly created site, where they can setup and customize their site using Wizard-driven interfaces. Remote sites won’t spring up without central creation, but once enabled centrally, can flourish with local initiative.
