#9 - Systems Integration
Your website is powered by a CMS with great editing capabilities but poor blogging support. So you set up Wordpress to power your corporate blog. And phpBB is now handling your discussion forums while wikis are done via MediaWiki. Welcome to the pain of maintaining consistent content across those multiple platforms.
Yet there is an alternative: you can deploy new best-of-breed solutions alongside your CMS in an integrated and painless manner. A research group recently came to Six Feet Up for assistance in deploying public collaboration spaces such as forums and wikis alongside more traditional content published from their CMS. Their end users are now transported seamlessly between the separate applications while logged into each one via Single Sign On.
