Verizon announced today it was offering its Verizon Business Managed Hosting customers access to new browser-based web content management services. The new service is provided by web content management vendor Alterian, using the Alterian Content Management Enterprise Edition. Alterian's Morello Media Surface solutions are geared toward making it easier for non-technical personnel to make changes to web properties without IT intervention.

By offering this service, Verizon is allowing its customers access to a platform that could allow non-technical end users to add and change content on websites, intranets and blogs. And it's not just businesses which are taking advantage of this offering. In fact, the government of Wales is using these services to keep its 3 million constituents up to date on government business.

The web content management services are part of a suite of application hosting services Verizon offers. This latest offering should give customers who don't have internal web content management services a way to take advantage of these types of services without having to invest in expensive hardware.
