OpenPad Enterprise– Reduces development effort
With limited time and resources they needed a content management system that would allow them to easily develop the site without restricting their creativity. OpenPad's drag and drop page editor provided the control to easily converted graphic designs into pixel perfect Web pages without programming code. Working with OpenPad, they were able to develop and deploy the website in less than 6 weeks.
Increased Productivity for Autism Speaks
To keep pace, this growing and dynamic organization needs to maintain and expand their site without relying on technical resources. With OpenPad, Autism Speaks is able to add text, video and graphics to pages, and make changes to page layout without waiting for programmers. This provides the control the organization needs to communicate their ideas, and quickly publish new content to the Web, all without limitation.
When they were ready to perform a site redesign, a project that could have taken weeks using any other CMS, OpenPad made it possible to complete in four days.
OpenPad supports integration with custom databases and web-based services
Autism Speaks needed to manage a custom database of family services, and the flexibility to connect to web-based services for constituent management and discussion forums.
OpenPad provides a platform to administer their database of family services, allowing them to add, update and delete records. With an easy to use data management interface, designed to work like a spreadsheet, non-technical staff members are able to quickly update the databases and publish changes to the Web.
It is critical for Autism Speaks to collect information on its constituents. They also had a need to provide people with space to discuss Autism. The site published with OpenPad easily links to Convio and Kintera for ecommerce fulfillment and constituent management, and an open source discussion forum.
