[Zope] is zope right for me?

[Bobb]

It works for infinity  (viacom).  I believe (in principle, and probably much
more $$$) that they're doing something similar.

and http://www.zope.com/CaseStudies
in general.

Get the shovel out :)

good luck...

Subject: [Zope] is zope right for me?


Hi all - I'm very new to Zope(i.e. literally only hours) and like what I see
so far but I'm still unsure if Zope(and add-on products thereto) is the
solution I'm looking for.  Specifically, I am a CIO of a franchise
organization that has a network of 750 owner-operated locations around the
US and Canada and what I want to be able to do is to give our owners the
ability to create/update/manage their owner one page 'home page' which will
'hang off' our public site.  The pages for all locations need to be within a
standard template and we should be able to determine what our
owner-operators can update/add on their pages.  Also, some of the page
content will need to be controlled dynamically by data within our existing
franchise database(MSSQL).  This dynamic data should not be able to be
updated via the Zope interface.  Above all, creating/updating the pages
should be extremely(and I stress extremely) simplistic.  Otherwise our users
will not create/maintain their site.  All this being said, is Zope my
answer?  Is a combination of Zope and Plone my answer?  Zope and a
combination of some other product(s)?  Am I way off here?  Any advice would
be greatly appreciated before I go digging into the product myself.

Regards,
Steve Mueller
