(ISF) Re: Content management systems

I would like to have separate tools to do each function - however - how do I get them to integrate? Is there a guide to help me figure out what integrates with what?

I have considered integration for CRM but what about document management and project management - any ideas?

>>I should start by saying that NPower Seattle implements Plone websites for nonprofits - so I'm obviously a fan. That said - I'm also aware that Plone isn't the right tool for everyone, and that implementation, training and documentation more often than not are the culprit, not the tool. All of that said - I have a few thoughts (some depending on which version of Plone you have)>>

Sara,

I think that the world is substantially not your oyster in this regard, unless you have a generous timeline and budget. In our experience - it can be easy to get separate tools that meet your needs - but much harder to get a suite that does so. And while integration is better and better - many products don't provide affordable (or at all) API access - which means integration can be a challenge.

I'd also encourage you to think about how any tool fits with the rest of your technology infrastructure and the local skill set - if you really want integration or a suite, I suspect that you'll need to retain some skilled coding experts - no matter which platform or vendor you choose!

Warm regards,
