Silverchair Content Manager (SCM) 5.0
Semantic Web Applications for the Enterprise
SCM 5.0 offers scientific, technical, and medical (STM) content publishers a sophisticated, robust, and flexible platform for highly effective content delivery within the semantic web. With more than 10 years of deployment, SCM is proven fifth-generation technology and has been used for more than 20 products Silverchair has developed on behalf of commercial publishers, professional societies, and the U.S. government.
Our understanding of STM information and the needs of clinicians, researchers, and students has served as the underpinning since SCM's inception.
SCM utilizes a multi-tier architecture to isolate the user interface, business logic, and content storage—allowing multiple branded products and data sets to communicate through a common application layer. This approach provides the risk management of packaged software with the flexibility of a custom product. As Silverchair enhances the SCM platform annually, each licensee benefits from the resulting product innovations.
