FWII’s new DSN Platform for Ethnic Minoritiesand Indigenous Peoples
Content Management Systems (CMS): First fully-hosted CMS. Until now, the two best options for content management on the web were self-hosted open source products like Drupal or Joomla or expensive full-service proprietary systems. The TrUnity Platform meets the typical requirements for 90% of this market for no more than the cost of inexpensive web hosting ($8.00/month).
Institutional Repository/Digital Archive: The TrUnity platform meets the international standard for digital archiving and it is the first fully hosted one. The reason so few museums, libraries, and Universities have not implemented web-based digital archives is because of the tremendous technical administrative and management costs of each installation.
White-label Social Publishing: Each TrUnity community web site is in effect, its own social network. But with professional standards content management capabilities and cross platform content sharing and collaboration between communities.
