Report Excerpt

The Web CMS Report 2009 looks at... Microsoft Office SharePoint Services 2007

"But for Web publishing, the key issue is Word conversion, and here MOSS 2007 still strikes us as a tad immature. Upon conversion, the entire text of the Word document goes into a single field in the CMS. If you want more granular conversion, you have to write a converter routine to do so. To convert a Word document, you find in SharePoint and right-click. The SharePoint folder must be mapped to a particular locale in your website. Seems a git clumsy. "

(p. 420)

More about The Web CMS Report 2009

Our customers say

"The reviews of various CMS packages in the Web CMS report is well-structured, allowing readers with different roles to easily examine each product in detail and quickly make comparisons between products. But even better than the excellent product reviews is the clearly-written, comprehensive, and non-biased explanations of the Web CMS landscape. In addition to making it easier to more fully-appreciate the massive amounts of product information, it also provides readers with great guidance that will assist them with any CMS selection and implementation.

MS CMS2002: Not Your Father's nCompass

09-Oct-2002

With the long-awaited release of CMS2002, Microsoft has finally coverted the product from the relatively straightforward nCompass architecture to .NET -- in a very big way. While the end-user interfaces (and features) are largely untouched, the innards of the product have been substantially re-engineered; in fact, we think this is the most faithful implementation of the .NET strategy to date. And it also ties the product even more closely to the broader MS constellation: for developers, MS CMS is now tightly bundled to VisualStudio.net, while business users will almost surely want -- and in most cases will *need* -- to upgrade to Office XP...
