[CMS] Intranet & Content Management Syste

[Nate Aune]

Hi Andrew,

You may want to consider Plone, an open source content management
system. We have used it successful in a number of projects both as a
CMS for managing website content, as well as for managing documents in
an intranet.

Plone is very easy for non-technical people to use and has all of the
features that you mentioned: Version Control, Workflow and Access
Control, Company Resource Booker (Meeting Rooms, Projectors), Online
Forms, Document/Image Management, Surveys, Reporting, etc.

And it's very easy to set up subsites, one for each department. We
have done this on one of our customer projects - VoiceSignal Inc.'s
intranet.

Plone is being used by such companies as Nokia, Motorola, eBay, HP,
Disney, NASA, JP Morgan and countless other companies and
organizations.

You can find more info here:

http://plone.net (site for decision makers with solution providers,
case studies, etc.)

an intranet)

Hope this helps!
Nate
