Intranet CMSs

How many
organizations are using a CMS for their intranet? What about a portal
solution?

Respondents to the
Intranet
2.0 Global Survey provide
(530+ organizations ranging from small to huge, in all corners of the
globe: 36% come from the U.S.; 24% from Europe; 60% have more than
1,000 employees; 32% have 6,000 or more employees) some very good
insight into the use content management systems (CMSs), as well as
portals and Intranet 2.0 tools.

Key findings:

• Less than 2/3s
  of organizations use a CMS for their intranet (62%)

• 24% use a
  custom built CMS (home grown CMS)

• 25% use an
  off-the-shelf solution

• 11% use a
  portal solution

• There is no
  dominant CMS solution – no one vendor has more than 20% market
  share

  • Microsoft
    SharePoint is used by 20% of those that use a CMS

  • Interwoven,
    Documentum and Vignette each have 4% market share

  • No other
    solution was cited by more than 8 organizations (2.5% share)

Clearly SharePoint's
dominance in the market is showing here. Though only 20% of the
respondents are using it as a CMS. For those that have implemented
Intranet 2.0 tools, SharePoint (MOSS 2007) is present in 46% of the
organizations (though some organizations are using multiple tools
including SocialText, Confluence and MediaWiki). In other words,
SharePoint is being used as a CMS, but its not its strength which is
collaboration sites, document sharing, and portal functionality /
features. SharePoint is more often being used for collaboration and
portal functionality.
