Unleashing SharePoint's Web Content Management (WCM) Capabilities

SharePoint Server 2010 provides new, richer sets of Web Content Management (WCM) functionality primed to enable organizations to truly use SharePoint for their customer-facing websites. SharePoint 2010 offers:

• Enhanced scalability to better support increasing amounts of SharePoint content
• Integration with existing security infrastructure for easier distribution of administrative and content publication tasks
• Simplified infrastructure management, as SharePoint can also be used for enterprise content management (ECM), document management, and collaboration 

However, some crucial challenges still exist. For examples, branding SharePoint sites with CSS can significantly lengthen page load times; large graphics and media files further deteriorate user experience and global users’ unreliable network access can also lead to platform performance and adoption issues

For SharePoint WCM initiatives to be successful, organizations have to: 

• Distribute content publication and management to content owners

• Automate content and application publishing 

• Scale SharePoint globally to provide fast access for all users 

• Ensure SharePoint is available for all users without disruption

• Archive web content to maintain historical records
