Plone sales pitch?
All, I know I'm a little off topic here, but I figure you Python folks know a lot of Plone too. I'm going to deliver an internal sales pitch at work, promoting Plone for a company intranet. It'd be used for general company information (newsletter type stuff), employee collaboration/discussion while working through ideas (rather than endless email threads), SOP document storage, and whatever else it seems good for. So I'm looking for good talking points for a Plone sales pitch. Have any of you pitched Plone? What sales techniques worked well? What fell flat? I've subscribed to this list for a while, so I'm starting here. I'm not on a Plone list. Feel free to recommend a good one if this is too off topic for this list. Thanks! -P
For the actual implementation of intranet there are a couple caveats:
You want to make sure that all your needs are more or less covered by
standard products/plugins or be ready to probably hire someone to build
you custom functionality
(which brings up the cost).
Depending on the activity you are expecting
you might also need to allocate enough processing power and memory, because
Plone is significantly more resource intensive when it serves (many)
logged in users
versus anonymous user.
Hope this helps.
