I have a new job in the Operations division of a large corporation. Prior to my arrival, my group developed thousands of static pages for store managers and district managers using Dreamweaver. We are the conduit for directions coming out of the corporate office, and the corporation decided within the last year to personalize the content, based on job description. The idea was to simplify very complex pages (suffering extreme information overload) into channels, where people see what they need to see, without the clutter. District Managers should be able to view the pages their store managers and the stores' department managers see. In Operations, we should be able to create content and specify who sees it and for how long.
The IT department was asked to come up with a solution over a year ago. They waited till almost the last minute, and they're now telling us that they've selected Broadvision. They also tell us that they can't implement our designs (which we think are very effective, BTW). I know nothing of Broadvision, so I don't know whether the problem lies with Broadvision or their limited understanding of its capabilities. Having said all that, I know that with a small group of CF programmers, it would be possible to do this project right, with all of the features we're being told can't be done by the IT folks. Could any of you with Broadvision knowledge or experience offer some insights on this situation? This is an intranet that handles above a million hits a day. Is Broadvision the tool? Or is there good info out there that I could use to influence management on my side of the fence? Is Spectra a viable alternative to Broadvision? Sorry. I don't know which specific Broadvision product they're using. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
