Hey guys,
I wanted to get some advice on potential content management packages. We are a software company that designs specific processes for telecom corporations such as Verizon, Sprint, GBC, etc. Well a big part of what we do involves relasing updates and patches to our software. Currently we use e-mail notification and FTP to transfer information. But I feel this is an arcane way to do this and I want to come up with something better.
I’m thinking there has got to be a better, faster, more efficient way to disribute releases to customers. My thought is to utilize web. Add a section onto our website that would allow users to log on and get the newest updates available. Maybe setup a page for each user logging in and someway to manage the data so it makes it easy for our developers to distribute files and easy for the users to login and pick them up. Also a way to track who has downloaded, what, when, and how many times would be a very valuable to us as well.
I’m not a web or database guru. So an already developed package is sort of what I’m after. We are willing to spend money to do such a thing, but we are not large, so money IS an issue.
Thanks so much for any and all advice,
Mike Busch
