The VYRE Unify content management platform is the result of 10 years of developing Web Content and Digital Asset Management systems. The focus has always been to implement a platform with the flexibility to support your content structure, workflow and user requirements. Unify 4.3 is our fourth generation pride and joy. On this page we provide you with more information on Unify’s specific CMS features.
There are two types of repositories in Unify: DataStores and FileStores. DataStores contain XML based text content while FileStores store unstructured binary content like images, video and documents.
Unify supports metadata standards like Dublin Core and IPTC but you can mix and match and set up your own attributes. Unify also provides advanced taxonomy functionality so you can import or configure poly hierarchical taxonomy structures and apply them to your content.
All of the content is version controlled and includes a full audit trail including changes made, by who and when.
The main benefits of this approach is that the application grows with your needs and drastically cuts down on training and guarantees high user acceptance. This is critical for a successful CMS deployment.
Content Repositories
You can define as many content repositories as you wish, define the content and metadata structure, configure locales, relationships and access control using a simple web interface and without doing any coding.

User Interface and Usability
One of the main issues with Unify 3 was the usability. Today there is a wide range of users with different skills managing websites. Our approach is instead of trying to implement the perfect interface for all user levels, we give webmasters the ability to build and customise the user interface for content editors.
This means that none of our clients have exactly the same content management interface. Some have form based content centric interfaces while others use in context page editing ones. It is totally up to you which features you expose to which group. Moreover it is quick and easy to customise and improve based on users' feedback.

Content Migration
Last but not least we have the import and export features. Unify supports XML and CSV for importing content. You can also bulk import images and files with metadata in a separate file. In the same manner you can configure exports as XML, CSV or PDF.
A recent addition is the scheduled importer which you can set up to monitor folders for new content. This is now used quite extensively for integrating with 3rd party applications which provide content to be enriched on the Unify platform.
