Distributed Teams of End-Users Benefit from ECF G5
ECF G5 is first and foremost a developer platform. You cannot take advantage of ECF G5 without a professional .NET developer. . That being said, once ECF G5 is deployed and tuned to the demands of an organization or business, many of its tools and functionality can be accessed and changed by end users. If you need to contribute some quick content for a product page, it's entirely possible using both the front end and back end content management systems. You can also have someone enter data into a catalog without too much technical knowledge. With a team of both developers, IT staff, and end users, your ECF G5 site will be easier to manage as all those three groups contribute to the overall health of your commerce site.
