Now DonNTU has system of sites which includes the information more than for 10 faculties. There is not only static information on these sites, as for example addresses or phones, but also dynamic information. These are students data, scientific works, conferences, lectures and other. The interesting feature in this situation is sites distributed on several domains and on several servers. Some sites, which are allocated on different domains, have duplicating information. When there is such size of the information, it is advisable to move site to content management system to facilitate process of information updating. At the moment of search any of available content management systems had no opportunity for content management for sites which are allocated on different servers. It is necessary to create such content management system, where should be primary module with database, which contain common information for system of sites and also secondary modules, which have access to common database and also to its own database.
As a matter of fact the idea and realization of such CMS is identical to available systems except that secondary CMS have access to database of the primary system. Realization of such system probably will cause a speed problem of user request processing, as the database located on a remote server. However use of a cache should solve the problem. From this point of view it is possible to integrate sites in single system.
Advantages of such system:
- Automatic updating of dependent information on secondary modules
- The facilitated sites support
- Each site has its own design
- Each site can be supported by one or several managers
- Possibility of connection a new site to system.

The expediency of using CMS for different types of sites is considered. Also the most popular electronic payment WebMoney system in Commonwealth of Independent States has been considered. On the done work it is possible to draw the following conclusions. The number and quality of content management systems grows, these systems make a good showing and they should be used. Therefore it is recommended to move system of DonNTU sites to technology of a similar sort. Requirements to realization of such approach in DonNTU conditions are formulated in the current work.
