Our software enables anyone with basic computer skills to start creating and editing web and intranet pages with minimal training.

 

Rapid Deployment

Immediacy can be supplied with a number of starter sites that can get your project "up and running" with a highly functional website with minimal development.

Advanced Content Management

 

  • Document Management - Immediacy supports the publication, versioning and control of documents over the web. We have a fully integrated browser based document management system.
  • Blogs - Immediacy has an excellent corporate blogging tool which features approval of comments and a "blog rollup" facility which consolidates multiple individual blogs into a single summary page. This is a great feature for improving enterprise collaboration and knowledge sharing.
  • Forum - Immedacy has a fully featured forum to allow visitors to engage in online discussions. For the technically minded, the forum is XML based can be customised by changing XSLT stylesheets.
  • RSS - Immediacy supports both reading and writing of RSS feeds.
  • Search - Immediacy includes a fast, effective search engine which features near instantaneous indexing of documents and context sensitive document summaries.
  • Dynamic PDF Conversion - Immediacy supports the dynamic conversion of web pages into PDF documents. This means you can place a "download this page as a pdf" link on any / every page of your site and have the pdf automatically  kept up to date as the page content changes.
  • One to Many Deployment - Immediacy can support a sophisticated deployment model where content is created and edited on a staging server before being published to a production server. For reasons such performance or geographical location of servers, content can be deployed from one staging server to many live servers if required.

 

Technical Requirements

Immediacy can be run successfully on low end commodity servers or for very high traffic sites, a load balanced, redundant server farm can be used. 

 

Microsoft SQL Server is required for content storage but for smaller sites the free SQL Express version can be a more than adequate alternative.

 

Immediacy developers can benefit from using a development IDE such as MS Visual Studio however for more "ad-hoc" development it is perfectly possible to use a simple text editor such as notepad or a more advanced tool like Dreamweaver.

 

Integration with any ODBC compliant database is straight forward.
