What is the Secret of TAGGON's Worldwide Success?

 

Taggon addresses the needs of content contributors in an elegant way. Its WOW-Editor (Write-on-Webpage) goes well be­yond the existing "what you see is what you get" (WYSIWYG) editors, provid­ing superior simplicity that allows for the modification of text, images and tables directly through the webpage without the need to toggle between different views. It is so simple and intuitive that no training is required since it looks and operates like Word. The users do not even feel as though they are using a new application. Taggon is so user-friendly and efficient that any other compar­able system is made to look archaic. With Taggon, the promise to put the re­spon­sibility of content management into the hands of the real content creators is finally being delivered.  

 

As a rule of thumb, if your content contributors, who routinely work with MS Word and other word processing applications need additional training to manage web content your efficiency and success are being jeopardized. Your "content management" will invariably fall victim to an IT bottleneck. The reason for this is simple: Applications that are not utilised on a daily basis can only be successful if they mimic well known processes and are so simple and intuitive that no training is required. In today's fast paced world, people are unable to invest the time needed to adequately learn new applications as they are being over­whelmed by their never-ending lists of tasks.

 

This is what the secret of Taggon's success is built on: At all times the user of Taggon is able to see the final result and does not need to toggle between the different views of an editor and a browser. In fact, the most common "mistake" of users is to forget that they are NOT in Taggon, since the content in the Taggon application is an identical twin of the live site. While this might initially sound trivial, it is decisive factor in building the confidence of the user. For the first time, WYSIWYG is made real for text, images, tables, menus, and anything the user is utilising. WYSIWIG is a starting point, and not the solution. The fact that an application might be easy to use is not sufficient; it has to be dead simple. It has to be so intuitive that people can use it instantly. 


In the search for a successful approach, it is helpful for system evaluators to understand that they have a large pool of content contributors with the knowledge and resources to maintain and update even complex web content, already working for them. The key to success is the ability to leverage their existing knowledge, experience and capabilities rather than forcing new systems upon them that require additional training. 

 

In Taggon, text is modified in the same way the basic features work in Word and other text editing applications. This goes well beyond existing "WYSIWYG" editors. It includes all useful short­cuts with the keyboard, it includes drag-and-drop functionalities that behave as in Word, even across text, images and tables simoutaneously, and includes the same experience for single, double and triple clicking or CTRL and clicking. The simple fact is that users of Taggon will already have a familiarity with how it works, based on previous Word use. It does not matter how advanced one is in their use of Word, as it is possible to continue to work as they always have while using Taggon. 

 

Images can be inserted out of ImageDirector, the popular media asset management system. As a result, the user does not have to fight with an image repository with folder structures that accumulate hundreds, if not thousands of images and files that are uncontrollable. The user finds himself in the comfort of an enterprise level media asset management system that allows for the rapid searching and finding of the required information. As the files can reside in the system in a media neutral format, the user is not concerned in selecting file sizes or file types. The user finds and selects the image, inserts it and can then crop, resize and move at will. Upon saving, the system takes care of the deployment of the correctly compressed file for Internet usage. This is another example of a relatively trivial feature, however, if you look through just a few of the larger sites, you will quickly find that there are inadequate file sizes online that potentially result in a poor user experience.

 

Files are also handled in a very simple way. The user simply inserts the file from ImageDirector and is given the necessary options. The user is guided through the process step by step and is unable to make mistakes. Uploading new files, given the user has the rights to do so, is just as simple.  

 

Tables are equally as simple. Most HTML programmers will attest to the fact that this is where a challenge can be found. Taggon's claim is that it works with the same ease as in Word (or even easier). Taggon is to the point where the tab key is doing what you would expect in Word, moving freely from one cell to the next and then to the next row. All necessary features can be edited with ease with a comprehensive table properties menu.

 

Editing a menu or even a menu structure can be very frus­trating, and this is where existing content management systems miserably fail to deliver. This is not the case with Taggon. The user is provided with a context menu right in the live structure and can manipulate at will, move a menu item or even an entire tree from one place to another, copy, delete, rename, or do whatever is needed, all available at the fingertips of the user. In fact, the idea

 

In discussing the creation of templates, most content manage­ment system professionals would say that creating templates is the responsibility of the design team. However, in situations where the user requires a few pages containing a table and would like a template for that such that he does not have to repeat, copy over and overwrite, how efficient would it be to have to wait for this to be done, given that the user's goal is to finish his work as soon as possible?  In Taggon, given the per­mission, he can do this by simply saving his work as a template.

 

Of course there are certain limitations in Taggon, as certain things are simply beyond our reach - for now. We are constantly working on developing it to a never before seen brilliance in simplicity to the user. 
 

If you are desiring a rapid launch with information that is con­stantly updated, coupled with a system that is motivating people to actually contribute, you will need to follow the simple rule of simplicity.
