Checkout this online book - Integration Techniques and Strategies for Content Management Server 2002 online book. It provides a variety of integration options available to you when designing your CMS Web sites. The methodology presented is simple, secure, and extendable.

The book takes the WoodgroveNet sample site which shipped as a sample with CMS 2002 and build integration components to show integration with search engines, workflow engines, authentication systems, and other software. Some techniques and strategies include:

• Using the CMS .NET-based managed APIs
• Using the CMS Site Deployment API
• Creating user controls and dialog boxes within the Web Author
• Creating custom placeholder controls in Microsoft Visual Studio.NET
• Creating components that communicate with each external system

You'll find that the integration components add many new features to the WoodgroveNet site, including the ability to search, extend the publishing workflow, change the authentication schema, add content such as Flash, and manage resources outside of MCMS.
