I can’t help but draw a wider circle, and see mishandled approaches to CMS integration as part of a global phenomenon where IT makes the call and manages the solution. Probably what’s fundamentally changed in business practices over the last 20-30 years is the way technology (be it the workstation on the desktop of the corporate intra- or internet website) has given stationery suppliers, actuaries and filing clerks a one-way ticket to redundancy. All three (I’m sure someone can add to the list) once had a secondary role, a lot further down the chain of command. IT and its mystic, inaccessible ways came along and required specialists to install and run it. Unfortunately, at some point they managed to convince management that they also were the only people technically competent enough to make decisions, and took on a management and deciding role that no procurement, statistical or storage division within a company would ever have been given. Maybe it’s time MBAs came with a compulsory unit of study on “understanding technology and keeping it in its place”…?
Our clients often have more questions than answers about selecting their Web Content Management Software. Many see Drupal, or Wordpress as a simple solution because of the ever increasing visibility. Thank you for taking an approach that does not start with a solution and work backwards such as touting why one CMS is better than another!
