Falcon-Software Company, Inc. announces...

Falcon-Software now offers DotNetNuke.

Victoria, BC – January 31st, 2010 - Falcon-Software Company announces its latest CMS product offering – DotNetNuke as an open source solution. “We are still primarily deploying commercial enterprise CMS software”, states Gary Eisenstein, Falcon-Software’s President and founder. “But, as open source becomes more widely accepted in the business community, we needed an open source solution in our stable and DotNetNuke’s Professional Edition was a good fit”, says Eisenstein.

DotNetNuke is one of the leading open source web content management systems (CMS) for Microsoft .NET. The Professional Edition is very easy to use with site editing done through a standard web browser. New users can learn to create and edit web pages in minutes. Content contributors can control their site content and appearance without IT assistance. The DotNetNuke framework is highly extensible and allows you to integrate any of thousands of software extensions from hundreds of independent software vendors. With web caching capabilities that enable massive scalability, the Professional Edition can supports web sites running on a shared server or large web sites running on a dedicated web farm. DotNetNuke is committed to maintaining an extensible open source core shared by the Community and Professional Editions.

Features of DotNetNuke’s Professional Edition:

  • Content Management and Page Editing – Users can add and edit content through a standard web browser without IT support. Add or upgrade functionality on your web pages by installing third party software modules which provide a wide variety of features. Selectable View, Edit and Design modes enable you to create pages, install new modules, edit content, and preview your pages quickly and easily. The enhanced Telerik RadEditor rich text editor makes content editing more flexible and easier than ever.
  • User Interface Customization – A license for Telerik RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX for an unlimited number of developers to use within the Professional Edition instance to develop highly interactive, dynamic, client-side web applications.
  • Improved Web Site Performance – Page and module caching with multiple caching options speeds the delivery of web pages and provides site visitors with a more satisfying experience while reducing the workload on your web servers.
  • Web Site Appearance – Installing a new skin can easily change the appearance of your site. Text can be distributed in skin files which can be localized to the preferred language of your users. Support for widgets, jQuery and IE8 web slices provide additional customization options with XHTML, WCAG and ADA compliance. The widget framework allows easy addition of JavaScript/HTML widgets and supports a simple object tag-based representation so no JavaScript knowledge is required.
  • Social Media – Create engaging, interactive web sites using social media features available as standard core framework modules such as blogs, forums and wikis.

Extended page, module, and folder level permissions allow you to provide your users with granular rights to view and edit your web site. The Security Center continuously feeds relevant alerts to your administrators with links to download any relevant security patches.
  • Application Integrity – Files in your installation are checked against the standard release files. Any inconsistencies which may impact the reliability of your web site are reported including files that are out of date or which have been modified.
