Tridion Solutions 1 : Global and Local sites
Choosing a correct WCM from the other products is the difficult one. Basically we need to see like how a product helps to implement all customer requirements. I worked few times on validating client requirements where I needed to validate various WCM products to meet all the customer requirements. Also I searched web for some of the general requirements expected in all WCM applications.
All these solutions are implemented/tested only on Tridion 2009.
