CMS: Options at enterprise level
In large businesses CMS deployments, a common misconception is that a complex EnterpriseCMS is required.
Very often the technical team sets out the look for a CMS product that is complex enough to match the complexity of their organization systems. However, in practical use a "complex" solution can aggravate the existing problems and create new ones.
In order to clearly understand the EnterpriseCMS requirements ofLargel companies let us first explore the unique challenges they face:

1. Do you really need an ' Enterprise Solution'?
   

   A lot of people confuse the term "Enterprise CMS". The word Enterprise is no indication of the size of the CMS or that it caters to large organizations. An enterprise level institution may not be looking for an "Enterprise CMS" if their aim is simply to manage web content.The term Enterprise in CMS is usually insinuates web content management withintegration of document/record management and knowledgemanagement features.

2. Do you understand the CMS usage patterns?
   

   With scores of users accessing and handling CMS in larger organizations, it is very important that we ascertain the usage patterns. If a large community of CMS users exists, such a study becomes even more important. For e.g. if a lot of people are infrequent users accessing only specific content, then a simpler interface should be way up on your priority list.

3. Have you understood your content nature?
   

   Most often people get so carried away with the CMS user
   requirements that they ignore the protagonist, the web
   content.Correct content goes a long way in helping you
   make a decision in finding the right CMS. Try to find
   out if:
   
   * Your content gets updated frequently?
   * Do you need to keep detailed records of the changes (for e.g. Regulated Industry)?
   * Do you tend to reuse the old content a lot?
   
   In all such cases a high priority must be given to content that offers version and change management features.

4. How does the information flow?
   

   Another important area of focus is information flow and communication channels. If the users need to consult a lot with each other regarding the content or if the content approval is done in a hierarchical way it is important that you choose the CMS accordingly.
   In this case, you are looking for a CMS with workflow features and a built in mail management or message posting functions.
