Technical Benefits of Using CMS400.NET
Because CMS400.NET is built on Microsoft's .NET framework, it offers superior scalability, flexibility, security and interoperability over non-.NET content management solutions. Examples of the power of Ektron's native .NET content management solution include:

Optimize .NET investments: CMS400.NET optimizes IT investments in the Microsoft .NET framework, such as Windows Server 2003, SQL Server, IIS, and Visual Studio.NET tools.

Powerful Web services capabilities: The Web services API enables developers to extend information in powerful ways. It supports the vision of sharing information across multiple sites, applications, and organizations.

Enhanced security: Unlike COM-based applications, CMS400.NET supports the concept of "managed code," in which application code is protected in a security sandbox, meaning it's more secure than non-.NET applications.  Developing with .NET allows you to have a more robust security "wrapper" around your CMS code.

Faster performing Web sites: Unlike scripted code (i.e. ASP & CFM), .NET supports compiled code.  Code is compiled on the run time language on the server which allows your Web site to perform faster than before.  Web site visitors, as well as CMS users, will notice dramatic performance improvements.

Lower development costs: Web application development in a .NET environment is four times as cost effective as development in a J2EE environment.

Rapid deployment: Because it's built on familiar Microsoft technology, it's easy to integrate with your infrastructure and get running without wasting time and money.

Scalability: CMS400.NET scales easily and quickly, meaning it will grow with your site and support the most robust sites in the world.

Richer user experiences: The ability to take advantage of Web services and develop richer applications makes a .NET Web site a more effective Web site.

Like CMS300, CMS400.NET comes with Ektron's award winning, Web-based XML editor, eWebEditPro+XML already integrated into the product.  eWebEditPro+XML allows you to easily create and manage smart Web forms, collect and validate information with powerful and robust validation capabilities, and extend information to a wide variety of devices and applications. 

Other benefits of the combination of eWebEditPro+XML and CMS400.NET include converting and automating paper-based forms and form processing, as well as creating and deploying employee expense reports using eWebEditPro+XML's spreadsheet-like mathematical capabilities
