The question is from Charlie Wood’s entry where he references a couple of reports by James Governor on Traction beating Lotus out at a European pharmaceutical organization, and Movable Type beating Lotus out at Alcatel. There is a free case study written by Suw Charman for the former on her blog.
Socialtext also has some increasingly interesting enterprise apps at e.g., Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein and Nokia, and has recent investment and a new board member from SAP.
We’ll be looking at some more detail on exactly what organizations like these are doing with blog and wiki tools in a follow-on report to Lauren’s earlier article, so let us know of any interesting case studies.
In answer to Charlie’s question, I would say ‘yes’ to collaboration and ‘partially’ to content management.
The new version 1.7 of Kentico CMS for ASP.NET introduces a new BizForms module that allows content editors to create and publish data entry forms on the web site. The captured data is sent to e-mail and stored in the database. The editor can then create simple reports and export data to Microsoft Excel. Creating on-line forms, such as “contact us” forms, surveys or event registration forms does not require expensive development. Instead, every end user can design a web form using various fields and add form to the page. Kentico CMS 1.7 also comes with a new Content Staging module. It allows organizations to edit and preview the whole web site on the staging server and publish it to the production server after testing. It also improves the security as the editing interface can be placed behind the firewall. Kentico CMS is $499 per web site and is available at http://www.kentico.com
