Here's the weary group of us after completing 23 hours of vendor presentations on web content management systems over the last seven days. We voted on selecting two finalists out of five to come on site for a week for proof-of-concept testing. Though the winning demos were very slick, we know we face months of expensive and complex detail work to build out whatever system we finally select. All to bring more delight to people who spend a few minutes clicking through our web site, and give content producers a bigger and better bag of tricks.
