How we got to this point. We started implementing a WCM (Web Content Management) solution in May of 2006 and had chosen MCMS (Microsoft Content Management Server). The beta release of MOSS (Microsoft Office SharePoint Server) was out and we decided to forego the deployment of MCMS with the release of MOSS impending by the end of 2007. Well after nearly two years of MOSS development and the migration of over 9,000 static pages, consisting of variously aged web technologies, we are live!!
How do you go from scratch or a starting point of less than scratch to a successful MOSS WCM deployment without a redesign of the content?
Stay tuned as we get our ducks in a row and publish the cookbook for your successful MOSS WCM deployment. We have tons of blogging resources that we need to properly acknowledge for their part in our success, so we are reviewing our notes to ensure proper acknowledgements to those valuable resources. This was truly one of Microsoft’s first efforts in supporting an open source approach for a product.
