IP Australia adopts Web 2.0

IP Australia is looking to implement a content management system for its Web sites, in an attempt to improve communication and information flow to clients, reports Computerworld.

The agency, which is run by the Australian Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research, runs 13 Web sites, 30 online services, and has 800 000 unique browsers annually.

IP Australia says a Web content management solution will be tested from an as-yet-unnamed contractor in November this year. Web 2.0 tools may also be on the agenda as the agency is looking to provide an online forum, wikis and blogs.

KickApps has upgraded its social software development suite designed to let Web publishers manage their Web site content under a unified content management solution (CMS), says Information Week.

Called KickApps 5.0, the social CMS platform incorporates online assets including editorial, social media, and video, without requiring publishers to manage multiple-point solutions.

Publishers can extend their content beyond standalone Web sites to include Web-based platforms such as Facebook, as well as mobile devices including iPhones, iPads, and Android smartphones.
