New ExpressionEngine security update released

mike-johnston

It’s that time of the year when analysts, pundits, and vendors announce their bold predictions for the upcoming year. 2010 was a banner year for Web CMS, as companies realized the benefit of integrating Web CMS into critical business processes like marketing, sales, and customer support. Corporate websites took a giant leap forward, evolving from static to dynamic, and from generic to personal. The explosive growth of mobile devices in new form factors like the iPad caused CMOs to rethink their mobile strategies.
So let’s get started with my ten predictions for Web CMS in 2011:
1) WEM, the acronym, will remain vendor jargon. WEM, the concept, will transform the future of Web CMS.
WEM, or Web Engagement Management (or is it Web Experience Management?) has emerged as a potential challenger to replace CMS as the acronym that describes how companies use content to drive site visitor engagement and deliver business outcomes. Although WEM has been heavily discussed and debated among analysts and journalists, it remains a mystery to the only audience that matters- the users and buyers of Web CMS. While the capabilities described by WEM are paramount to the future of Web CMS, buyers will reject WEM the acronym but will come to expect that the existing acronyms WCM and CMS will include the capabilities of delivering and measuring site customer engagement.
2) Companies will evolve their mobile strategy beyond “mobile friendly”.
2010 was the year where mobile devices finally drove enough site traffic to compel companies to craft a mobile strategy. Yet most organizations stopped at mobile friendly, assuming the battle was over once the website and marketing campaigns rendered correctly on mobile devices. In 2011, we’ll see marketers take advantage of device capabilities and characteristics to deliver mobile experiences, not mobile friendly websites. Users are open to more immersive experiences on tablets but will look for more transactional experiences on smartphones. Mobile development will no longer be an afterthought, and innovative companies will develop for mobile first, and progressively enhance the experience based on the capabilities of the browser or device.
3) Web CMS vendors will differentiate through their decisions to build vs. integrate.
The decision to “build vs. integrate” has become a battleground for vendors trying to establish unique identities in the Web CMS space. Some vendors are focused on creating all-encompassing suites of capabilities, while others are more focused on integration with existing business applications. In 2011, vendor strategies will diverge even more strongly in this area, with vendors picking sides and aggressively committing to their strategy. For those vendors that choose to integrate, their success will be predicated on their ability to deliver deep technology integrations, not the fluffy “press release integrations” of the past.
4) Content is king. Context is queen. Together, they rule the fiefdom of web engagement.
It’s long been said the content is king, and as marketing shifts from outbound to inbound, content has evolved into a strategic corporate asset. While context is king, context is its queen. Context provides an understanding of the content consumer, and her unique set of circumstances. With context, you can match the right content, at the right moment of opportunity to encourage, support, or persuade the visitor to take action. In 2011, being able to understand the context of site visitors will transform how organizations view Web CMS and dynamic content delivery.
5) Web CMS acquisition fever will slow down, or maybe even stop.
The last five years have seen transformative acquisitions in the Web CMS vendor landscape. Oracle bought Stellent. Open Text acquired RedDot. Autonomy purchased Interwoven. Open Text bought Vignette. And most recently, Adobe acquired Day Software. In 2011, the acquisition fever will slow down as the remaining best-of-breed vendors focus on growth and differentiation in the next wave of Web CMS.
6) Multichannel publishing will drive a resurgence in structured content authoring
While newer authoring interfaces like in-context editing and drag+drop page creation have emerged as important tools for Web CMS users, the need for multichannel publishing will push users back towards more traditional, structured authoring interfaces. Publishing to multiple channels requires additional structure to ensure the right content is delivered to the right channel. Users will tag content for usage in specific channels, ranging from traditional long-form channels like the desktop web browser to short form channels like mobile devices and Twitter.
7) Platform will become less important in the Web CMS selection process
In the past, companies would have a strong preference for platform when selecting a Web CMS platform, typically Java or .NET in the enterprise. The platform requirement will become less of a decision point as the viral growth of Sharepoint created .NET expertise in even the most formidable Java strongholds like financial services and insurance. While some companies will still prefer a particular platform, it will become increasingly less important in 2011. Buyers will pick the products that best fit their business and technical requirements, regardless of platform.
8) Enterprise search is sexy again
Search and Web CMS have always enjoyed a symbiotic relationship, and the relationship will grow deeper in 2011. Enterprise search platforms provided by vendors like Microsoft, Endeca, and Autonomy do far more than just keyword searches. They power mission critical business processes like commerce and customer support, and play a significant role in the overall customer experience of a website. Search is an important part of a customer engagement strategy, and Web CMS vendors will use enterprise search platforms to provide new sets of capabilities focused on engagement and experience.
9) Social media will permeate the corporate website
The website of the future will be a seamless blend of corporate generated and user generated content. Social is no longer just a disconnected feature of a website, it's a fundamental shift in how companies embrace customer relationships, transparency, and authenticity. In 2011, we’ll finally start to see companies and brands adopt the principals outlined by Jeremiah Owyang in his 2007 blog how on How to Evolve Your Irrelevant Corporate Website (http://www.web-strategist.com/blog/2007/05/29/web-strategy-how-to-evolve-your-irrelevant-corporate-website/).
10) Developers. Developers. Developers.
Web CMS vendors have spent the last few years catering to marketing departments and business users, addressing usability and innovating new ways to use Web CMS to run marketing campaigns. Web CMS vendors will place the same emphasis on transforming the developer experience, providing better tools, APIs, code samples, documentation, and more.
So those are my predictions for 2011. 2010 was a great year for Web CMS, and I think we’ll look back and identify 2010 as an inflection point in the market, driven by both the emergence of web engagement and the growth of new channels like mobile and social media. Please share your thoughts and predictions in the comments, or on Twitter using the hashtag #futurewcm.

A new release of ExpressionEngine has hit the shelves just in time for the holidays. Version 2.1.2 is now available from their website. Here's what Robin Sowell had to say in her release announcement:
<blockquote>
We’re very happy to get this release out the door in time for the holidays. We again give thanks to all the folks who have helped improve EE through their bug reports and feedback. This release delivers a number of new features and over 60 bug fixes.
We also took the opportunity to reduce and simplify a few settings that have repeatedly caused problems in the past. As a result, you will notice that both the “Honor Entry DST” and “Convert High ASCII” settings have been removed. These are superseded by our move to UTC and UTF-8, respectively.
As Brandon already let slip, our Control Panel themes are now <a href="http://expressionengine.com/blog/entry/expressionengine_2.1.2_leaner_and_meaner/">Leaner and Meaner</a> and MUCH easier to customize.  We also added a member group setting to disallow editing of HTML formatting buttons, enhanced the message on forwarded Private Messages, added an importer to the IP to Nation module, and….  Really, there’s too much to list in a blog post!  Check out the <a href="http://expressionengine.com/user_guide/changelog.html#v212">Change Log</a> and compare your favorite addition to those of the development team!
My personal favorite is the ability to include custom member fields in the Control Panel’s Member Registration form.  That’s something I had to custom code on a few sites back in the day, so I particularly appreciated the usefulness.
Pascal’s favorite was an easy guess- the complete revamp of autosave.  This version achieves everything we’d envisioned, including saving the data prior to entry creation and an unobtrusive manner of operating.  You don’t notice it until you need it.  But when you need it, you’re really grateful it’s there!
Greg’s pick was the removal of PHP4 support.  Yes, this seems an obscure choice at first, but it resulted in the removal of over 700 lines of code from the member module alone!
Brandon thinks the override.css is kinda cool.  Not being much of a designer myself (understatement) I poked him to elaborate on how this adds crunchy goodness to EE.
If you want to change the pink, just make a new theme with one file.  Not that there’s anything wrong with pink, of course!
Well, that does sound sexy!  Hrm….  I could make a goth theme, all in black and grey.  And bats could fly out of the menu when you mouse over the tabs!  Sorta like in the old Scooby Doo intro.  Perhaps it could trigger a midi of the Scooby Doo theme song!
Alas, our plates are full even without the challenge of a Scooby Doo theme.  Time for me to get back to work.  We wish you and yours a safe and happy holiday and hope you enjoy this new release!

KnowledgeTree, provider of cloud-based document management solutions, today announced product enhancements that help small- and mid-sized businesses share content and collaborate more efficiently without restrictions. The upgrades, combined with new subscription packages, enable an unlimited number of users to share and co-author documents and workflows inside and outside their organizations, using the Web or desktop Microsoft® Office® applications.
According to the Association for Information and Image Management's State of the ECM Industry study (http://www.aiim.org/Research/Industry-Watch/ECM-State-of-Industry-2010), “Enterprise Content Management is at something of a tipping point. Driven by the need to control content chaos, organizations large and small are looking to impose order through an ECM project. The positive benefits of information sharing and improved collaboration are resonating with decision-makers… Compliance is seen as an added benefit, but the prime driver is the need to maximize employee productivity and enhance their engagement with each other.”
The new KnowledgeTree features include:
•	KnowledgeTree for Office: powers content co-authoring and social collaboration from the desktop to the cloud. Microsoft Office users will be able to search, access and work with their KnowledgeTree-hosted content directly from their desktop Microsoft Word®, Excel® and PowerPoint® applications. The Office Toolbar will let multiple users collaboratively author documents, merge edits and receive alerts about document revisions. •	On-demand sharing: lets users easily share specific content with external, non-KnowledgeTree users on an as-needed basis. This is particularly useful when documents need to be reviewed and edited by external third parties such as attorneys sharing contracts with clients. •	Unlimited users: removes the restrictions usually associated with document management usage within an organization and increases opportunities for document sharing and collaboration. New users can be invited to join by simply providing an email address. •	New subscription packages: provide businesses with a range of pricing and feature options to match their business needs. Pricing starts at $35/month. More at http://www.knowledgetree.com/pricing. •	An affiliate promotion program: enables technology services or solutions companies to earn commissions by promoting and selling KnowledgeTree subscriptions via their own websites. More at http://www.knowledgetree.com/partners/affiliate.
“We needed a document management service that integrates with the Microsoft Office products we use every day,” said Stephen Combs, Vice President Legal of Sharecare, an interactive healthcare social media platform. “The new KnowledgeTree for Office feature will make co-editing and collaboration seamless, which means we'll spend less time on the process of reviews, editing and approvals, and more time moving our business forward.”
“Document management in the cloud should enhance collaboration among users, not restrict it,” said Daniel Chalef, KnowledgeTree CEO. “We take this seriously and designed these product enhancements to do just that. Unlimited user engagement, on-demand sharing, and better integration with Office are important upgrades that bring real and functional benefits to document management collaboration that just don’t exist elsewhere for SMBs and mid-market companies.”
KnowledgeTree is now available in the Google Chrome Web Store! Users who sign up at the Chrome Web Store will be able to access KnowledgeTree via the Chrome dashboard. Click here for more information.

ICanLocalize™, an innovative global provider of translation software and Web services for content management systems including WordPress and Drupal, announces WordPress Multilingual [WPML] version 2, facilitating translation-tasks and workflow for enterprise teams. Addressing the increasing use of WordPress for business websites, ICanLocalize empowers editorial workflow for multiple languages and teams of writers, translators, and editors. The powerful Translation Dashboard of WPML2 delivers faster, less expensive, translation of business websites.
Website builders and project managers get access to pools of language-specific translators, who can bid competitively on translation and localization work. Each translator receives a jobs queue in WordPress, simplifying translation work. Moreover, translators have no need to learn the content management system (CMS) or how to create links, fields, categories, or taxonomy.
There are clear advantages from competitive bids for translation into several languages. More advantages come from the management interface that handles these simultaneous streams of outsourced tasks—or keeps the translation of certain languages in-house.
The benefits for corporations, large interactive agencies, and design shops that develop websites are the ability to manage translation tasks and workflows more easily through the WPML2 plugin. The process is faster, less expensive, and improves quality. In addition, the Translation Dashboard continues to serve for translation of future, editorial changes to content.
Find The Plugin For WordPress At WPML.org (<a href="http://wpml.org/">http://wpml.org/</a>)
The WPML.org (http://wpml.org/) website, built by the translation software professionals at ICanLocalize, hosts the plugin, documentation, and best practices for website internationalization and software localization.

Following the recent release of its Content Hub Appliance, EntropySoft, a specialist of content integration and connectivity, announces a partnership with information management company Iron Mountain. Electronic documents coming from as many as 35 document repositories can now be archived easily to Iron Mountain’s cloud-based storage archive, increasing EntropySoft’s ability to link the enterprise and the cloud.
Iron Mountain provides information management services for helping organizations to realize greater value from their paper and digital records. The company’s solutions for records management, data protection and secure shredding enable customers to protect and manage their information so they can optimize their business and ensure proper recovery, compliance and discovery. Through its Developer Program, Iron Mountain allows third parties and developers to integrate their solutions with its secure cloud archiving platform. This is the first instance of integration between EntropySoft and Iron Mountain.
EntropySoft’s Content Hub Appliance is a single platform that provides out-of-the-box connectivity to ECM systems. In a matter of hours, any customer can connect all its Content Management Systems to Content Hub Appliance and start moving documents to Iron Mountain’s archive. All the affiliates of a company can connect to the same platform and regroup in a single repository all critical corporate information, therefore increasing compliance with regulatory environments and facilitating eDiscovery.
“Companies are looking to leverage the cloud to reduce their information storage costs, and customers of EntropySoft can now do that securely and in a tightly integrated manner,” said Jaimin Patel, director of business development, Iron Mountain. “Iron Mountain has been offering secure cloud storage and archive solutions since 1995. More than just secure storage, though, our cloud solutions enable faster access to information and help organizations to address compliance and regulatory concerns, all while reducing the operational complexities and costs of data storage.”
The partnership between EntropySoft and Iron Mountain highlights EntropySoft’s capacity to solve the main concerns with cloud adoption: security and integration. Content Hub Appliance addresses these issues for documents, as it enables a secure link between the cloud and the enterprise.
“EntropySoft is very pleased with this partnership and integration. It takes only minutes to deploy our software appliance in a virtualized environment, therefore minimizing the efforts usually needed to connect enterprise and cloud repositories. Now companies of all sizes can archive simply all documents, reducing the costs and risks associated with storing and protecting important documents,” said Nicolas Maquaire, EntropySoft CEO.
Large organizations use EntropySoft products for managing advanced document processes. Software vendors use EntropySoft products to facilitate information access. Content Hub Appliance is the secure link between the Enterprise and the Cloud for all companies.
Content Hub Functionality The virtual appliance can be downloaded from EntropySoft’s support site. It only takes minimal installation and configuration for the virtual machine to be ready to start operating in the customer environment. In a few minutes, the Appliance can be connected to all the company’s document repositories. A user-friendly web interface allows authorised company staff to search, browse and work with all connected repositories. Then a transfer “bridge” connects the chosen repositories to Iron Mountain’s digital archive. The bridge can also implement the customer’s specific requirements. Once the bridge is configured, the document archiving is effective.
Customers can select from different archiving options. Documents can be archived manually, on a scheduled basis or in real-time, For example, if this last option is chosen, as soon as a document is created in the document management system, it is instantaneously moved or copied to Iron Mountain’s digital archive.
The Iron Mountain cloud archive becomes a centralizing point for all the information stored in the various content silos of the company. This allows the Legal, IT and Compliance departments to cost-effectively manage in one place all relevant electronically-stored information.
Pricing and Availability Using Content Hub Appliance is very cost-effective compared to specific developments usually associated with linking an archiving platform to content silos. The service is offered by EntropySoft on a monthly subscription basis and a pay-as-you-use model that includes content transfer and digital archiving.
About EntropySoft EntropySoft is a specialist of content integration. EntropySoft’s mission is to connect applications to information. EntropySoft technology is used by software vendors and large companies to simplify integration of their products with Enterprise Content Management solutions and cloud repositories. Application fields are numerous: Enterprise Search, BPM, e-discovery, Records Management, Collaboration, Data Loss Prevention, Multi-Function Printers etc. The following leading global organizations chose EntropySoft products: Alfresco, EMC Kazeon, Endeca, IDS Scheer, Kroll Ontrack and Symantec.
