Sirius Content Manager

Introduction
"Sirius Content Manager" provides a dramatically simplified means to deploy any type of content throughout your company. Sirius Content Manager, also called “SCM”, is especially well suited to documents that evolve over time such as procedural manuals, as it supports revision audit trails and workflow associated with editing, reviewing and approval. Very affordable, simple to install and maintain, and exceptionally easy to use, SCM provides companies with almost immediate Intranet delivery on your platform, enabling end users to easily modify text if they are entitled to do so. Constellation can also help you author documents on Sirius, or help you load your own documents.

Who Uses Sirius?
Sirius Content Manager is designed to be used by anyone in an organization who needs access to and may need to edit content of any kind. Sirius’ workflow features are especially useful for documents that must edited occasionally and by users in distant offices. Since the same application can segregate users access to different content, Sirius is well adapted to servicing all sizes of companies, large and small. Companies with review committees that must approve operations manuals especially find Sirius to be invaluable.

Bundled Configuration
The bundled configuration is designed for customers who select Constellation to author or assist in authoring content. Sirius is very easy to install on almost any kind of server, but most admins will require some assistance in getting started and setting up users. Installation includes the software admin and user training guides, on-site help with installation, loading of the document into Sirius, hands-on admin training, up to 10 basic generic users with read access, editing access and approval access along with basic approval workflow.

Custom Configuration
Constellation is happy to help you add value to your instance of Sirius Content Manager in your company. The following additional services are offered on an a la carte basis.

Custom Workflows	Security
We can evaluate the way in which you prefer to edit documentation and create custom workflows for you. Here’s an example of a custom workflow: John edits a topic Linda receives an email to approve the edit, clicks on the link to review, and finds a problem with the content. She sends it back to John to fix John receives an automated request to fix the problem and does the fix Linda receives a new request to review, she approves the new version and forwards it to a 2nd level approver 2nd level approver is on vacation, so after 2 days the request is auto- forwarded to a backup for approval Custom workflows will take 5 to 7 business days to develop, depending upon complexity	We can integrate Sirius into your existing LDAP security.
