Out-of-the-box, cross-platform Intranet?

by lukemartin . Updated 24 years, 2 months ago

Help!

I’ve a query; has anyone had any experience with relatively inexpensive intranet software? I’ve been asked to look into some options, and I’ve really hit a wall. IntraSmart was looking like the leader, but at $7k, it’s not likely to leave the starting gate.

Basically, we’re trying to set up an intranet for about 130 users. Mail/Scheduling is on Exchange, but we’ve got a 60/30 split in favour of Macs in terms of client hardware. We want to give particular people permission to edit documents/templates – the usual – while including extra communication tools like messageboards, document/file libraries et al. The people with permissions to edit/upload/update will be on both Windows and Mac machines. We can run the intranet on a Windows or Linux box; that’s fine.

If ANYONE can suggest anything, or can warn against any products, I’d be immensely grateful. At this point, it looks like I’m being pushed towards – urk – MS Frontpage’s 60-Minute-Intranet-Kit. Which I really would like to avoid.

Any help is greatly, greatly appreciated.
