In my view it's a two way street. If I were to offer a solution, I guess it'd be to consult with clients on the full spectrum of CMS solutions in general conceptual terms...not product-specific technical terms. Get the client excited about what technology can do, but don't influence (i.e., limit) early brainstorming by tossing in specific implementations of product features. Software is malleable. I don't think enough companies understand that. They tend to accept whatever vendors tell them when they start hitting limitations of the product. All IMHO, of course...again, I'm no expert...just someone that has sit on the sidelines of these types of things for a while. I've also been the 'victim' before too. Live and learn. ;o) -Darrel
