Local network CMS

Updating Content via Local Area Network

In addition to cloud-based CMS solutions, we also offer a Local Network CMS. This option doesn’t rely on internet access, keeps all data within your own network, and saves you potential subscription costs associated with cloud solutions. However, it does come with certain limitations in (remote) content management. If the benefits outweigh the limitations for you, this could be a highly suitable choice.

When is it interesting?

A Local Network CMS is particularly useful in the following situations:

Sensitive or confidential information:

For organizations that prioritize data privacy and want to ensure all data remains internal, a local network CMS is ideal.

No internet connection or unstable network:

In locations where internet connections are unreliable, a Local Network CMS provides a stable, offline solution.

User control within the network:

For businesses wanting full control over the CMS without relying on external servers, a local solution is a good choice.

Cost savings on subscription fees:

Companies that prefer not to pay monthly for a cloud CMS can opt for a Local Network CMS.

Advantages

Using a Local Network CMS offers several key benefits:

No internet dependency

Content can be managed and updated locally without an internet connection.

Security and privacy

All data remains within the internal network, improving privacy and security.

No monthly subscription fees

This can be a more cost-effective option without ongoing subscription costs.

Direct control

Management and adjustments can be performed directly within the network.

What are the disadvantages?

While a Local Network CMS has many benefits, there are some disadvantages to consider:

Limited remote access

Managing content requires direct access to the network, making it less flexible than a cloud-based CMS solution.

Limited integration with external data sources:

Connections with external data sources, such as news and weather feeds, are often not possible or more challenging to set up.
