Project management platform

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media coupled to one or more processors and having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations for providing a project management (PM) platform as a cloud-based service, the operations comprising:

• providing a content management (CM) platform, and one or more applications on a cloud-based server system, the CM platform operating as a container, through which one or more applications of the PM platform can be accessed, such that the one or more applications are presented as though being hosted directly in the CM platform, while being hosted on one or more server systems, the one or more server systems being distinct from the CM platform;
• transmitting computer-executable instructions to display an electronic document within a web browser on a display of a client-side computing device;
• and
• receiving a user selection of an application through the electronic document displayed within the web browser on the client-side computing device, and in response:
• transmitting, through the web browser, a first request to the CM platform,
• loading, from the CM platform, a page frame of the application, the page frame being loaded to the web browser to enable the web browser to directly communicate with the one or more server systems through the page frame to retrieve one or more customizations associated with the application,
• transmitting, through the web browser, a second request to the one or more server systems hosting the application, the one or more server systems storing one or more customizations and data,
• receiving at least one response from the one or more server systems, the at least one response comprising at least one customization and data, the customization customizing the application to a particular client of a plurality of clients, and
• displaying, on the client-side computing device, an application page within the page frame, the application page comprising the at least one customization, and at least a portion of the data.
