I'm wondering if the web content management portion of SharePoint Server 2007 is a replacement option? Or if SharePoint Server only offers CMS functionality for SharePoint web sites.

MOSS 07 has CMS functionality to manage your public web site. It's still a 'sharepoint' site in the sense that it is MOSS that is running it, but it'd be using more of the CMS tools. That said, it's going to cost a chunk of change to not only purchase the external site license for MOSS, but also a lot of time and effort to migrate your current site into it. So, unless you are really unhappy with your open source CMS, I'm not sure if it'd be a huge benefit (if at all) to move it to Sharepoint. -Darrel     Was this post helpful to you?         Reply |   Top           Mandy 4/3/2007 6:41 AM PST   Thank you, Darrel!     Was this post helpful to you?         Reply |   Top         Return to Microsoft Communities   Notify me of replies
