Publishing / Content Management

MOSSHosting.com specializes in hosting public websites which use the Content Management features of SharePoint with an affordable monthly alternative to purchasing an on-site license for SharePoint for Internet Sites directly. MOSS is the successor to Microsoft Content Management Server (MCMS). Many companies that are choosing to upgrade to MOSS from MCMS decide to do so in a hosted configuration. This latest version of SharePoint makes it easy to publish new content through the browser once a design template has been established. MOSSHosting.com can provide the infrastructure to provide a public facing web presence for your company and the designers who are experienced with converting your existing designs to a MOSS compatible publishing format.

Who else hosts their public facing site using MOSS? Microsoft, Hawaiian Air and Viacom are just some of the big names. The full lists includes over 500 other major corporations and governments who have chosen MOSS as their web publishing system.

Why are companies of all sizes choosing SharePoint for their public facing website? SharePoint is the information hub for business. Now that you can use the same platform to host your public facing website, making the decision to go SharePoint is easy and compelling. The same SharePoint skills your end users adopt using SharePoint for collaboration and knowledge management can be transferred to your Marketing, PR or Investor Relations departments. Updating and modifying your website while maintaining workflow and approval mechanisms for all changes is already built into SharePoint and extends to this type of deployment.

Our team of experts at MOSSHosting.com can help you transform your existing web sites into rich and compelling SharePoint-based experiences which reflect all the usability and search tuned standards (SEO) used throughout the creative industry today. We can also incorporate anything from e-commerce to rich media elements using Microsoft’s SilverLight or Adobe’s Flash to help your website standout. A dynamic and compelling interface and overall positive user experience across any browser is key and MOSS publishing supports this use.

In our process we translate your existing designs into SharePoint compatible styles and layouts. Next we deploy this framework to the SharePoint environment we have built and configured to host your website. Creating or maintaining your content is all completed through a browser interface after this point by designated users. We also provide on-going support to help update layouts, designs or other graphical elements you may wish to develop further beyond your initial deployment. Our solutions scale to support workloads of several hundred visitors to tens of thousands visitors with many load balanced SharePoint servers.
