Re: Intranet & Content Management System

Hi Andrew,

There are no shortage of CMS products within Australia:
http://www.steptwo.com.au/cm/vendors/australian/index.html

(Approx 140 at last count.)

The best place to start is to document very specific business
requirements around what you are looking for. This will then allow
you to assess different solutions, noting that CMS products are
very different in how they work...

Cheers,
James
