Content management without the complication or frustration

Statesboro GA - September 5, 2007 - Today GMP Services Inc announced
immediate availability of GMP Content Management System 2.0, enabling
businesses to better manage their websites. GMP CMS 2.0 is an ASP.net 2.0
web application with a Microsoft SQL Server backend that empowers users with
effortless and simplistic website management.

OVERVIEW OF GMP CMS 2.0 FEATURES

Easy Setup
GMP CMS 2.0 has a simple 3 step process: upload the files, add your database
connection and license key to the web.config and run a single script.

100% Browser Based Management
Once GMP CMS 2.0 has been set up you can create your website, upload media,
upload images, etc. via web browser. You can even edit the website style
(CSS) in the administrative area via web browser. GMP CMS 2.0 is
cross-browser compliant, the system works the same with Firefox, Internet
Explorer, Safari or any gecko based browser engine on Linux, Macintosh,
Windows and UNIX. You aren't limited by the web browser you use to access
GMP Content Management System 2.0.

Search Engine Optimization Built-in
GMP CMS 2.0 has many search engine friendly features such as a new type of
URL writing that doesn't really on ASP.net http-rewrite or other server side
technologies. You will never have a broken link to a page if you edit a page
name, the old and new URL will both be valid (no more lost pages or broken
links!). Each page allows you to add a page (tab) name, meta title, meta
description and meta keywords. Each item created in the News & Article
manager allows you to also specify an item title, short description a meta
description and meta keywords. There are many 'under the hood' search engine
optimization techniques that will boost your site very high in the search
engines. See also the notes section of this manual regarding the Automatic
XML Sitemap output (SEO)

Security
GMP CMS 2.0 by default is secure. We have leveraged the inherited security
methods in ASP.net 2.0 as well as secured content via security roles (user
groups) as well as included a filtering system called BadBot.

Pages and modules can be secured so that only the group that has access to
view can see the content. You can mix and match security of modules so that
a logged in user would see additional content on a page that a non-logged in
user would see. You can secure entire pages and only allow a certain group
or groups to access the content and information on that page. User roles can
be assigned several roles: View/Browse, Edit and Administrator. You can
create unlimited security (user) roles.

User's passwords are encrypted to prevent theft. The system is also set to
lock a user out for 20 minutes if they attempt more than 5 incorrect login
attempts. User can retrieve a new password (auto generated password) via
email using the lost password feature on the login panel. User will still
have to wait 20 minutes before logging in with new password.

By default CMS 2.0 prevents SQL Script injection. If a script is pasted into
one of the content modules it is automatically removed when the module is
updated.

The BadBot filter will redirect incoming visitors based on the User Agent,
IP address (or IP range), Machine Name, Host name, and even referrer.
Partial and Full IP address can be entered. It is similar to 'anti-leech'
scripts available on the Internet. By default the BadBot filter redirects
users to localhost (sends them back to their own machine) you can also
redirect them anywhere you want (other websites for example). Over 500
BadBot entries are included in CMS 2.0. The BadBot filter is a great way to
stop bandwidth theft, stop image search spiders, stop form spammers, stop
download accelerators, stop hot-linking to images and more.

Extensibility
While the retail edition of GMP CMS 2.0 allows an end-user to customize the
look and feel of the application the developer edition allows further
extensibility by allowing the end-user to extend the application through
programming changes in the source code and compiling the changes. Any
developer with a good knowledge of ASP.net and Visual Basic .Net can make
programming changes to the application.

Speed
GMP CMS 2.0 is a compiled ASP.net 2.0 application that utilizes SQL server
to store the systems data. We have worked very hard to streamline the code
to execute as fast as possible. There are quite a few under the hood
performance builders as well such as module caching (in memory), file
caching (render page to file) and more.
