CMS or SharePoint?

SharePoint is a lot to a lot of organizations: a plethora of features, and hundreds of third-party applications make it an overwhelmingly robust platform, but overwhelmingly underwhelming for some.

Web content management is a particular feature set that never fails to underwhelm publishers: greatly improved compared to the woefully inadequate MOSS 2007, but far from best-of-breed. For those communicators and marketing professionals that are pincipally concerned with publishing news and corporate information, a robust .NET content management system (CMS) may be a welcome, and far less expensive alternative to the mammoth platform that is SharePoint.

CMS Connected is a webinar series that we’re sponsoring (Prescient Digital Media) along with Falcon Software. The next webinar series pits two leading .NET CMS solutions, EPiServer vs. Elcom, in a lively and interactive 60-minute webinar on May 13, 2011.

Sweden’s top Web CMS platform, EPiServer will go head-to-head against Australia’s own Web CMS powerhouse, Elcom During the webinar, CMS Connected host Veronica Cooper will be asking the CMS vendor guests a series of questions about their products and allowing each vendor a one-minute debate style response time. Then the attending webinar audience has the opportunity to ask the vendor guests a few ‘no holds barred’ questions of their own.

The webinar will cover various topics such as:

  • How the two CMS products work.
  • How to edit content and create new pages.
  • How to manage the system and document workflow
  • How to implement your own designs.
  • What modules are included and how to use them.
  • Licensing structures and options.
  • On-going maintenance support and upgrades.

The CMS Connected Webinar Series focuses on the needs and requirements of anyone looking to purchase a web content management system (CMS) in the near future and is a great way for IT professionals, site administrators or end-users looking to explore a .NET solution from EPiServer or Elcom, and get your questions answered.
