To use CMS or not to use CMS this is the question
|
|
|
| I am trying to evalute CMS as an infrastructure for an internet site which is
quite thin, but needs to hold eventually hundreds of GB (text content held in
DB), all formatted the same way. I would be happy to your opinion on the
issue.

| Hi John,
if structured text content should be stored then a CMS system is the correct
instrument to use!
If most content would be binaries, then a document management system might
be better.
Based on your explanation CMS seems to be the right solution.
Cheers,
Stefan.

| Hi Stefan, Thank for your reply.
The popular workflow in my system is combined of three steps:
1. Perform free text search.
2. Receive results.
3. Click a result to view its content (all presented identically).
The text will be inserted using an upload mechanism or a web editor.
Therefore, I suspect that I would actualy find no use for most of the great
features CMS offers.
What do you think?
Thanks in advance.

| Hi John,
MCMS can provide the framework (ie. a structure to store your content &
security).
You will need to use a search engine such as SharePoint or Mondosearch to
perform any search actions.
Regards

| Hi John,
you will use all the features of MCMS - except web author to create the
postings.
But MCMS also supports creation using WebServices or from MS Word.
It is very common, that not all features of MCMS will be used by a single
customer.
Be aware that you would need to integrate a separate search engine (as
outlined by Angus) as MCMS does not ship its own search engine.
Cheers,
Stefan.
