The Pros of the Oracle Update from Fatwire Content Server
March 28, 2013
The details on the Oracle update are discussed in this article from Element Solutions,
Why Upgrade From Fatwire Content Server to Oracle WebCenter Site 11g. Beginning with the faults of the Fatwire server including difficulties inherent in finding and deleting assets, as well as the lack of multi asset editing are cited, along with the confusing UI and system of creating and placing pages. The benefits to the upgrade without template code modification include,
“Separation of Administration UI and Content Contributor UI…Multi asset editing via Multi tabs…Drag and drop assets in Form Mode…Search for assets across multiple assets types…Moves MetaData Fields out of the way…Save and Continue work: the ability to save and continue work is now available with a simple click….
The key to a successful upgrade is proper planning, testing and training of your content contributors.”
There are also benefits available by making template code changes. The ability to drag and drop content as they are being viewed in Preview Mode as well as the ability to add content directly to page assets, instead of using the page assets only for construction of other assets.

Oracle WebCenter Sites 11gR1 provides a fully revised editorial interface that enables business and marketing users to directly manage, edit, and preview pages through a WYSIWYG, drag n drop interface. They can also easily move and share assets between site layouts, edit copy in place, and save changes to assets and pages. Multiple tabs allow users to work on several pages or projects in parallel. Built in workflow allows for teams to review and approve assets prior to publishing. WebCenter Sites also provides visual search with filtering, allowing the user to easily find and see assets to drag and drop into appropriate places on a page, allowing marketers to rapidly change content, reducing update efforts and time to market. The new Contributor Interface enables marketers to work much easier and efficiently to build and test, engaging, relevant web sites, without help from IT.
There is absolutely no truth to the supposed rumors of a per word charge for the upgrade. The Oracle WebCenter Sites upgrade is available to customers on current maintenance contracts.
