Pepper

The Pepper™ Platform

Vodori Pepper™ consists of a carefully selected and integrated suite of software – from content management to in-context editing – that has been adapted to meet the specific needs of global website portfolios. The following key features come “out of box” and since the solution is based on open, standards-based technology, future additions and integrations are readily available.

	WYSIWYG Page Editing pages on the site will be editable in-context, with customized, pre-defined styles that align to the each site’s identity
	Templated Content Pages all pages will be deconstructed into a set of reusable page layouts that aid content editors in creating new content and enforce the style guide and design pattern of the program
	Digital Asset Management audio, video, image, and Flash elements can be added through point-and-click interfaces; images can be resized or rotated right through the upload widget
	Cross Browser Support CMS and public-facing website supported in Internet Explorer 6+, Firefox 2+, Safari, Google Chrome
	Workflow content can be routed through an approval process before being promoted to or expired from the live website
	Multi-Lingual Support web content can be in any language, including multi-byte character languages (e.g., Chinese) and languages that read right-to-left
	Versioning all CMS assets are versioned with each edit and can therefore be reinstated back to a prior version; all versions carry auditing information (i.e., user, timestamp, etc.); in addition, the entire site can be reinstated back to a previous date (e.g., “show me what the site looked like on February 1, 2009”)
	Search Engine Optimization the platform promotes and enforces SEO best practices: meta-tagging, user-friendly URLs defined by the content author, support for ALT text on images
	User-Controlled Navigation the entire navigation is controlled by the content editor: new pages, re-order, remove existing pages – functions performed via drag-and-drop widget
	Website Search standardized site search via Google Search, integrated with the overall design aesthetic
	Social Computing Support widgets for RSS, social bookmarking
	Website Analytics integration to Google Analytics to provide comprehensive visitor tracking metrics
