Silverchair Content Manager (SCM) 4.0
Semantic Web Applications for the Enterprise

SCM 4.0 offers medical content publishers a sophisticated, robust, and flexible platform for highly effective content delivery within the semantic web. In its ninth year of deployment, SCM is proven fourth-generation technology and has been used for more than 20 products Silverchair has developed on behalf of commercial publishers, professional medical societies, and the U.S. government.

Our understanding of medical information and the needs of health care professionals has served as the underpinning since SCM's inception.


SCM utilizes a multi-tier architecture to isolate the user interface, business logic, and content storage—allowing multiple branded products and data sets to communicate through a common application layer. This approach provides the risk management of packaged software with the flexibility of a custom product. As Silverchair enhances the SCM platform annually, each licensee benefits from the resulting product innovations.
