Are you looking to evaluate the UX of the CMS software itself or the effect that it will have on the UX of your intranet? I'm going to assume the latter. You're actually in a good situation... you're changing technologies as part of what seems to be a major redesign. This means that you can define the UX requirements of the *intranet* before you choose a CMS technology. Once you do that you can evaluate each potential CMS against those requirements. A word on this evaluation... You'll definitely need to work with a rep from each CMS company to make this happen. But when you do this, whatever you do don't ask them, "Does your product do X?" because they will say "Yes." No matter what. Ask them to *show you* how their product does X. Make sure the rep brings along a tech person to this evaluation session. I can't count the number of times I've heard a rep say "oh, well, I'll have to run that by one of the developers." - Fred ________________________________________________________________ *Come to IxDA Interaction08 | Savannah* February 8-10, 2008 in Savannah, GA, USA Register today: http://interaction08.ixda.org/ ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
