Which CMS Is Right For You?
16March 2010 |
The content management market has exploded in size in recent years with the availability of platforms like Open Source and SaaS giving way to scores of solutions in a variety of sizes and complexities. While companies are spoiled for choice, the unprecedented volume of solutions makes selecting the right content management system (CMS) for an organization an increasingly difficult task. one of the main points we want to highlight is that there is no one-size-fits-all approach because content management is a process rather than a product. Understanding what your internal business requirements are as well as the basic pros and cons of each type of system will give you a starting point in understanding which CMS is right for your organization. Why a Content Management System? The subject of why you might need a CMS in the first place is the logical starting point before even considering which type of CMS you might need, however, that online marketing revolves around the Web and the Web revolves around content. This now makes every company’s Web site it’s most important public face, and companies that do not efficiently manage their public face get lost in the sea of marketing noise that fills the Internet today.

Factors selecting WCMS for your Enterprise
9March 2010 |
For organizations looking for a WCMS to manage their website, intranet, or portal there are literally over a thousand potential solutions from which to choose. WCMS solutions vary significantly in price, design, functionality, and in many cases, provide far more than just content management capabilities. A WCMS will typically serve as the foundation of an integrated e-Business or e-Information delivery platform. As such, there is more to consider than just how content is managed. The goal of this whitepaper is to provide industry insight that will help organizations to effectively evaluate and differentiate WCMS solutions and ultimately make better informed decisions. Identify Business Drivers The first step is to clearly identify the core business objectives driving your organizations need for a WCMS solution. The key business drivers behind why you need content management will play a significant role in identifying potential WCMS solutions. Get Help from A Content Management Specialist Define Your Base System Requirements In identifying your WCMS solution requirements, you need to include both business requirements and technical requirements. In defining your business requirements, begin by asking the internal stakeholders that will be using the WCMS what they need the system to do. In defining your technical requirements you will need to work with your IT team by making sure that your solution aligns with your organizations IT infrastructure and long-term strategy. Identify Potential Vendors Evaluating WCMS Vendors WCMS vendors vary hugely in price, design and capabilities. We have often said that WCMS products are 30% similar and 70% different. They all have the same bullet-point list of features, but it is how they work that makes the difference between success and failure. Evaluating WCMS Products While WCMS evaluation often focuses on a checklist of features and functionality, this rarely leads to the best selection. In most cases, a typically deployed WCMS solution uses less than 30% of the out-of-box features and functionality available in a WCMS solution. Every organization has unique needs and business processes. As a result, our experience quite often has been that out-of-box features and functionality do not match the clients individual requirements, thus, custom solutions have to be developed. Technology platform Many organizations have a single coherent IT platform such as Microsoft, Linux or Oracle. If this is the case, it should be specified as a precondition in the evaluation or tender. The same goes for the corporate-wide database standard, and it is reasonable to expect that the WCMS will use this database to store its content repository. WCMS Usability
WCMS Solution Costs When evaluating the cost of a WCMS solution, you need to consider all the costs of deploying and maintaining a CMS solution including the following: *WCMS software licensing This article was posted by RANGIKA PERERA |
Deciding to use open source
4March 2010 |
Open source is about freedom not simply the ideal of freedom, but the commercial reality of freedom. Open source software does not carry licensing or subscription fees. Although the initial attraction of open source software may be the fact that it is free of charge, you are likely to find very quickly that the long-term advantage of open source lies in two other characteristics: The code is accessible. Unlike many commercial products that not only hide their code but also forbid you from modifying it, open source code is visible and you are free to modify it to suit your needs. Open source protects you from being tied to a specific vendor. If you adopt an open source solution, you can partner with the developer of your choice to assist you. If you deploy a system such as Joomla!, which is based on popular and common technologies, you need not dread having to change vendors in the future because finding people who are familiar with the system and have the skills needed to work on it is easy. Taken together, the initial cost advantage plus the long-term benefits of having access to the code and your choice of vendors create a compelling argument in favor of open source. However, you should also consider the disadvantages in the course of making your decision. If your firm has existing software deployed on a proprietary system, you may want to continue with those systems rather than introducing different products or platforms into your business. Support can also be an issue with open source products. If your firm requires a high level of support, you need to select an open source vendor that can offer you an appropriate service-level agreement. Determining whether open source is right for you Although open source provides a welcome alternative to commercial software and it will work for the vast majority of people, it is not necessarily the right answer for everyone. Whether open source is right for you depends upon your situation and your tolerance for business risk. The advantages are: Cost. Open source is cheaper to obtain and studies show that implementation costs can be significantly less than for closed source solutions. Open source can be vendor agnostic. You are not tied to a single vendor and cannot be held hostage by that vendor. Open source presents less risk. Studies consistently show that open source development process produces better code and that many eyes make for more secure applications. Moreover, when problems are detected, open source produces patches at an extremely fast rate. Open source is easier to install, configure, and customize. Open source promises more rapid innovation.
