atw: Re: All Electronic Doco Solution?

Thanks Chris - we're currently running SharePoint 2003 in-house and I
find it far too structured and rigid for what I'm looking at - but since
we're an MS shop, of course we already have an SP 2007 licence! So I'll
be talking to our sys admin into get a version of that up and running.

Even though we get MS products free through our Gold Partner status, I'm
trying to find the best fit for users rather than just using something
because we get it for free. Case in point - we use the Microsoft CRM
here because we received a great deal on it. It wasn't a good idea.

A lot of the suggested products seem to be more inhouse knowledge
management rather than client-facing - I guess there's no reason we
couldn't roll out to clients though. Thanks everybody so far - I have a
few great starting points.

Cheers,
Craig

Since you're organisation is MS-favouring (certified) house, try
sharepoint 2007. IT has wiki built-in as it does CMS (and so hierarchies
of documents
etc) and all 2007 office etc folds in for a 'total' experience (and that
includes the 'totalist' mindset of MS!)

If you don't want that expense and issues (you would need a sharepoint
administrator - it needs regular housekeeping) then try Plone - it is
CMS/wiki and is open source (http://plone.org) and REALLY easy to
install, even on a laptop, up and running very quickly... or else twiki
(http://twiki.org), comes with a lot of useful plugins although one gets
the idea that those who write plugins don't check their functionality
with other plugins!

Chris.
