Content Management Nightmares

Posted by Hemos on from the use-slashcode dept.

bildstorm writes "I've recently been looking into content management systems for my company and have found that there are all kinds of systems out there. I've found that most Americans consider web content management to be the catch all for content management (like Interwoven). In Europe, I've noticed that what's referred to as digital asset management is what is usually meant by content management (like Artesia). Has anyone used any of these systems well? For more than just web content? Has anyone tried any open source systems and used them well? I know there is a conference in Zurich next month for open source content management, but I don't know much about the products."

    For small companies/small needs (not a lot of servers/content) I use simple Lotus Notes applications. For larger needs, I step up to Domino.Doc.
    Agreed, but don't you know it is a violation of the Slashdot Code of Posting to suggest that Lotus Notes might be a viable solution to anything ;-) [Novell products too!].

    this pisses me off. I wanted to get a good content mgr for the gov't agency I am at; but no $ was forthcoming. Someone suggested Zope and it looked pretty good to me but I could not even get the resources to have that put in place. Hearing this praise of it leads me to believe it would have been a very good choice. Now it looks like our content mgr will be....

    wait for it....

    dreamweaver. That's right, a few non-web savvy people and some copies of dreamweaver will be our content mgr. Someone come shoot me in the face please.
