[WEB4LIB] Re: Request for input on proprietary Content Management

[Shashi Pinheiro]

Here at UTSA, the university has purchased a portal system (SCT
Luminis).  A content management system was included in the package deal.
The CMS is SCT CMS system which is based on the Documentum CMS platform.
SCT has build a web based administrative layer on top of the Documentum
platform to make it more user friendlier then the out of the box
Documentum system.  SCT was chosen for our Portal system since we use
their financial applications i.e. SCT Banner for fees, etc.

We are at the initial stages of the implementation, but from my initial
training on the CMS system, I'm sold on its benefits, not only for our
public website, but also our nascent intranet.
