Konductor is a content management platform that combines an extendable service, a Dreamweaver plug-in and an AIR based content editor to create a seamless workflow from site designer to content owner. The designer's workflow remains intact and uninterrupted so Dreamweaver can still be the tool of choice for creating the website and its templates.
The model for Konductor content management is SaaS (Software as a Service). For the average user this means there is no complicated server side set up or maintenance and third party developers can easily add functionality as the Konductor service includes a REST API.
Clients can manage their content using the Konductor desktop AIR application. The application allows for wysiwyg editing, real time image optimization, and offline content editing. Clients can now do the work of content management without the learning curve with this easy to use, dedicated desktop application.
Konductor combines a some of the newest and most stable technologies available to deliver an outstanding content management experience. Our Konductor client application that content managers use to update their sites is based on Adobe AIR technology, which is currently installed on over 100 million computers.

Behind the scenes, our servers use memcached (the same distributed computing technology used by Wikipedia, YouTube, Twitter and Digg) to deal with the massive amounts of traffic that come their way. It allows your sites to be delivered faster and it means they can handle an immense amount of traffic.
Our applications also communicate with each other using REST web services. This is an industry standard protocol for exchanging data, and we have documented our method of doing this as well.
