I disagree with this. CMSWatch focuses on largish CMS companies -- which is
a perfectly reasonable thing to do. Whether these companies deliver
something that is "high end" is open to debate. My experience with the
briefly trained consultants who consult the customer is that you get an end
result that turns out to be much less than it could be.

Well - I guess I didn't make a clear enough distinction between
product/system and solution - the first is the basis for the second... I did
NOT say that e.g. an Interwoven based solution will necessarily be good -
but I consider Interwoven a rather good (and high end, considering features,
possibilities etc.) product. And the same goes for many other of the
products listed at CMSWatch. 

I completely agree that badly skilled consultants can result in bad
solutions, no matter how good the system/product is - that is common sense!
Please also note that later in my post I exactly pointed out the high
importance of good and skilled implementation partners.

So - I guess you read something in my post that was not there - I of course
apologize, if the right meaning did not come through the first time, but I
never said that the products listed at CMSWatch will automatically result in
good solutions - just that most of the products have the capabilities for
that, if you have enterprise class needs.
