Geeklog in Enterprises?

Authored by: jalmada on Friday, January 27 2006 @ 07:37 pm EST

I've been a user of Geeklog since version 1.38. I've gotten so used to using it for personal and blog use on the outside that when we needed a simple department CMS within my own company, a large Aerospace firm in California, I naturally thought of Geeklog to solve the problem.

What I ended up doing was to settle on using MySQL 3.23 on a large Windoze server, GL 1.3.11, and to configure a standard configuration image that we use to crank out configurations of servers with. Our customers love it and it is quite simple to train and turn over the portals to our user base - Takes all of 1 hour in most cases. We've got about 8 of them running now and it looks like we'll get quite a few more. I can't wait until 1.4 is ready, I'll upgrade all of them at that point to get the latest features and the WYSIWYG story editing capabilities.

We also integrate custom Flash headers into the standard image we use. The Flash headers truly dress up the product. We use the stock "professional" layout along with this customization. It looks good, is very quick to alter using a standard checklist we've developed, and best of all, costs $0.00.

And yes, I manage a large SharePoint portal and a gaggle of other technologies. Our GL sites are more popular and quick to get into the field than any of the other so-called content management solutions...
