Hermes and Ajax Plug-in national website tools allow for information that is created on the BCH website to appear automatically in a country’s National BCH.

Hermes is an online Content Management System which provides the building blocks of a national BCH. It provides, in addition to out-of-the-box interoperability with the BCH, content management, content versioning, file management, search functions, support for multiple languages, security though SSL authentication and much more. Hermes based websites are hosted on the Secretariat’s servers which are constantly monitored with guaranteed 99.9% uptime through redundancy.

The Ajax Plug-In was a client side application that could be easily integrated with any existing website to provide dynamic display of information from the BCH through out-of-the-box interoperability. The Ajax Plug-In has been replaced with the Embed feature which is accessible through the Share button in Search. To find out how to use the Embed feature, please see this article.
