What others say about The Web CMS Report 2008

"The Web CMS Report was the roadmap for our entire CMS selection process. It truly provided a basis for understanding what we should look for and expect in a CMS. Above all, since we used the report as our guide, we are more-than-confident in our CMS selection. If we had to go through the process all over again, we'd still rely as heavily on this report as the first time."
-- Michele McDonald, IT Project Manager, University of Oklahoma

The Web CMS Report 2008 looks at... Skill sets required

"Since SharePoint uses and talks to a variety of other services up and down the Microsoft stack, don't be surprised if you need to involve multiple different skill sets in the development of debugging of a SharePoint application. This too comes as a surprise to the lonely LAN administrator who installed WSS in a well-meaning attempt to provide simple services to her business colleagues. "
