The DCP CCMS is built on a native XML data base, which provides a flexible platform for content management, transformations, reuse, search, retrieval, workflow, single-source publishing, and workflow. The XML content and digital assets are stored in one central repository, separate from any format-specific data. This allows for one source of truth for content and can be updated automatically to multiple distribution channels. Dakota's content management philosophy is based on this concept, also known as "single sourcing". Single-sourcing is a secure, efficient and cost-effective way to create, manage, and publish content. Individual content components can have their own lifecycles, which allow them to be reviewed, revised, and localized. They also have their own policies regarding ownership, tagging and version control. You can reuse and share components of documents across multiple documents.
