Hi, I am thinking of starting my own company providing web solutions - portal, Content Management, etc... Target market would be SME and enterprise that are cost-concious. In this over-crowded market, every other company seems to be able to offer anything under the sun. And a lot are choosing J2EE over here in South East Asia. To differentiate, I have to select a platform/solution that offers the competitive advantage such as rapid prototyping, fast development, flexibility to cater for changes, and cost-effective. All these which are lacking from my experience with the J2EE vendors so far... Which lead me to Zope - will it be able to provide these features? I am interested in Zope and will start to try it out soon. I'm impressed by the built-in GUI management interface. Can it fulfil the following enterprise demand too? - High-Availability and Load Balancing (ZEO?) - Support for creating user groups by functions, and assigning ACL, FAL (Feature Access List) to users - Integration of User Accounts authentication with NT Domain/LDAP/Netware etc. - Creating Workflows based on business logic - Report generation tools Regards, Firestar __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
