Intranet software/CMS
« on: September 18, 2010, 04:53:02 PM »
I'm trying to find out what kind of intranet software would be good for my organisation. We're with 11 people, 5 of those work decentralized.

Most important (1 being most)
1.Document/File management
2.Internal wiki to better manage our internal documentation
3.Centralized contact management
4.Content collaboration features

I've been playing with DocuWiki a bit and while it's simple and robust, it's only a wiki. I've heard of Basecamp, Drupal, Confluence and all other sorts of apps. Confluence seems pretty interesting so far.

We have an Outlook Exchange server, but we're finding it pretty difficult to manage all the contacts (probably 3000+5*700 and overlap) and want to unify it. I don't know wether Outlook is robust enough for this.

It needs to be easy in use, we're not an IT organisation, pretty much none of the people I work with are good with computers. I'm pretty good with computers so long as it doesn't require actual programming. We have a web server so a hosted solution isn't required per se.

I prefer open source or something cheap

SVN would do the 1 and 4 part if those are what I think they are.  I've never used a gui for it so I don't know how easy it is for non-computer people.

If it's for 11 people he doesn't need Sharepoint.

Hell just roll two people together and get it for $10 http://www.atlassian.com/starter/

I hear Basecamp is really solid, I've used it a little but only because we were making a similar app in Rails.
