Overview of Power Tools

Power Tools are off-the-shelf Web applications that provide e-commerce, content management, forums, chat, and other dynamic features of Web sites.

Web applications have become popular since they are widely available from the open-source community, and they enable a Web designer to provide dynamic content without writing a program. However, installing the applications correctly and configuring them for a Web site often requires system administration expertise, which many Web designers do not have.

When you install the Ensim Power Tools add-on, it is automatically available to your resellers. In addition, you can offer it as a service to sites. Site Administrators can use Power Tools to install and configure Web applications on their sites through the Site Administrator control panel. They can do this without special system administration knowledge or expertise, and more important, without needing to call you for support.

If you have the Power Tools add-on installed, Power Tools appears on the installed services list.
