The new version 1.7 of Kentico CMS for ASP.NET introduces a new BizForms module that allows content editors to create and publish data entry forms on the web site. The captured data is sent to e-mail and stored in the database. The editor can then create simple reports and export data to Microsoft Excel. Creating on-line forms, such as “contact us” forms, surveys or event registration forms does not require expensive development. Instead, every end user can design a web form using various fields and add form to the page. Kentico CMS 1.7 also comes with a new Content Staging module. It allows organizations to edit and preview the whole web site on the staging server and publish it to the production server after testing. It also improves the security as the editing interface can be placed behind the firewall. Kentico CMS is $499 per web site and is available at http://www.kentico.com

The license can be extended with optional modules, including the XForms application, based on the W3C XForms standard.
