A Contender for Content Management
Our company has quite a few websites for different product lines. We have a relatively small IT department making it difficult for us to keep up with the influx of support requests. Once we implemented Oracle WebCenter Sites, we were able to turn over the content management to our Marketing department. Since there were daily content change requests, this has alleviated a lot of pressure on our IT department.
- It makes content changes simple.
- Publishing changes is a breeze.
- Oracle should provide better documentation and tutorials.
- There are cheaper alternatives.

Oracle WebCenter Manages Investor Relations
We use the tool to help with web content particularly in the area of investor relations. We use a 3rd party IR firm and share content in the design of various web sites. This saves us considerable time and effort between company personnel and IR firm personnel. We may also use it in the future for its mobile capabilities; that is yet to be determined.
The system works very reliably and support functions are most helpful.

WCS is best if implemented correctly
Oracle WebCenter Sites, is a WEM platform for companies to build their internet/intranet sites. It has a WSISYG form, which makes it easy for the content contributor to create/edit content. It also comes with user management and can be integrated with LDAP if required. Also it has an inbuilt workflow, which allows the company to define their content flow the way they want it.

Oracle WebCenter Sites: An Inside View
Score 10 out of 10
Vetted Review

Oracle WebCenter Sites is a robust and flexible content management system. Typicallly used for external facing web sites, WCS provides powerful tools for business users to manage web content separately from managing the actual presentation of that content. For businesses wanting to provide a more personalized web experience for their end users, WCS also provides excellent tools for managing segmentation and personalization. And most importantly for many business users, a solid implementation gives business users a large degree of autonomy from IT when publishing new or updated content to meet immediate needs of the end user.
- Contributor UI: A robust, intuitive and customizable user interface for business content contributors, with in-context editing and preview capabilities. This allows a contributor to preview the content without leaving WCS and also allows the contributor to edit content directly in the context of the web page.
- Application Integration: The Web Experience Management (WEM) framework allows easy integration with external applications needed in the content lifecycle. Applications such as cloud-based media or document libraries can be conveniently accessed within the context of WCS during content creation, vastly simplifying the contributor's workflow.
- Digital Experience Marketing: On top of the CMS, organizations can optimize the experience for end users by providing personalization and segmentation rules to content, making content much more relevant and engaging to customers.
- Release Management: It is difficult to group content together and manage as a unit. This is most noticeable with content like promotions, where there might be a number of different types of content that need to be published at the same time when the promotion takes effect.
- Development Patterns: On the technical side, a lot of the code is contained in JSP files, using a combination of JSP tags and scriptlets. This can be tedious to manage from development perspective, though with some thought, an MVC-type pattern can be achieved. However, with every new release, the WCS product team continues to deliver a better environment for developers.

Oracle WebCenter Sites is being used as a content management system to manage the editorial content of the public section of the web portal of a big energy company.
Allows you to leave full autonomy to the marketing group in content management, deciding when and how to make them public. It supports the entire process of drafting, by the editor, approver and the publishing process, where each user has their own role within a defined workflow.
