[Sigia-l] "Study: Content Management Tools Fail"

[David Heller]

Why does open source help? Plone is actually the opposite problem in
that it is too simple. No Zope on the other hand is a great solution b/c
it is a platform solution as is Documentum on the non-open side. It
takes more to implement these, but you can custom tailor your solution
to be whatever you need. They just provide the building blocks.
Solutions like red dot, ePrise, etc. don't have that type of flexibility
and customizations. 

It all depends on if you as an IT person want to get your hands dirty in
order to make the right experience for your users. It is impossible for
a vendor to know YOUR requirements. All they can do is give you the best
platform on which to build that solution on. Of course having some type
of out-of-the-box solution is very helpful as both Zope and Documentum
(and everyone else) has as well. But these are barely suitable for
anyone.

One of the reasons why open source tools like plone are being looked at.
