cloud 300x224 WordPress Before and After ContentCloudContentCloud from Betaout is the Editorial Project Management system for the CMS. It is a SaaS (Software as a Service) platform that is targeted mainly at publishers running WordPress Sites.

WordPress undoubtedly is a very powerful tool for single bloggers or small website owners. But it faces limitation managing multiple teams of content contributors then be it the internal staff or freelancers.

Publishers today are looking forward towards a leaner editorial staff with their increasing dependency on remote content contributors (freelancers) for furnishing digital content. As a result their major focus has drifted to administrative work rather than producing top notch content. Their attention is being diverted in managing the entire editorial process right from generating content concepts to distribution of assignment to post content, track its performance as well as maintaining records of making payments to freelancers.

For each article the publishers need to rally the right resources, provide quick and absolute feedback, distribute and promote content and lots more. In order to maintain this workflow the publishers turned towards alternatives such as spreadsheets, instant messages, emails or project management software’s. They even tried force-fitting their tools to such alternatives that were intended for some other purpose. Despite all their best efforts, these publishers found themselves struggling to keep their head above water.
