See, now, I learn something new every day. I've not looked into importing data
since the 2.x days as most of my new sites have been scratch built. I did try
pushing FarCry for a huge EPA implementation, but they're dead set on
CommonSpot. One of the areas they claimed was lacking was Word/DB
So long as you charge Enterprise prices, you should be fine ;). I still don't
get that mentality, but if it's not expensive, then it must not be any good!

Figleaf and others fully supporting it down to training, etc.
Just to clarify, we don't do any work with FarCry currently. We do quite a
bit of work with CommonSpot, though. When we evaluated CMSs, we found

CommonSpot spot is really expensive... What do you get
from CommonSpot that FarCry does not provide for free?
Other than the hosted solution option, which is

The thing I didn't like about it was that they encrypt all the files so
you can't really see or modify it. There might be an option to get an
unencrypted version, but I don't really know, I never explored it.
I'm working with BeSavvy right now and it's the same way - there is an
