Connect, Contribute and Collaborate
Metro is a SaaS based collaborative content management system which was developed in-house. The inspiration/need to develop Metro came from our technology services work for our clients.
Content Management System (CMS) platforms have massive need and demand, across the breadth and depth of industries across the globe. CMS platforms can serve many purposes for an organization. These can be used as a knowledge base for holding institutional information, content repository for digital media (images, videos, write ups), corporate intranet, onboarding portal for new hires or external vendors and in its simplest form a corporate website.
Traditionally such systems used to be hosted within an organization’s network or datacentre and were built for top down dissemination of information within the corporate hierarchy with a very rigid setup for editing & publishing.
Newer systems have replaced the legacy setup with a more collaborative approach where users can create, curate and publish content together as a community. Adopting a cloud base SaaS approach removes any dependency on an organization's network or hardware infrastructure. It delivers the solution at a level playing field for big organizations and small independent businesses alike.
