    • ]]>     I’m always telling you that you should be using a web content management system (CMS), but what does everyone else think? A few good ways to find out how and why other organizations are using CMSs is to check out these useful surveys.

    Here are some nice ones from …

    UC Davis

    Helpful take-aways:

    • Over 60% of respondents are in institutions currently using a Web CMS
    • Institutions were more likely to employ open source or custom-developed solutions over proprietary/commercial systems
    • Most instances of Web CMS systems are small, centralized deployments of under 40 sites and 40 or fewer total users
    • Over 75% of Web CMS adopters provide formal training to users
    • Most Web CMS adopters would choose the same system if they had to do so again
    • Overall, there were no clear-cut “market leaders” in the broad field of Web CMS solutions identified by the higher ed institutions that responded to the survey. However, Plone and Drupal – both open source solutions – are in relatively heavy use.

    The full version is almost $1000, but you can see a free excerpt.

    Helpful take-aways:

    • Most Web CMS customers face a greater risk of over-buying than under-buying
