A comparison of enterprise blogging platforms
Saturday, July 1, 2006 at 07:31 
Charlene Li over at Forrester has published the results of her enterprise level blogging platforms comparison. I received my detailed copy yesterday (I participated to the input).
The general take of the report is that blogging is quickly moving beyond simply managing posts into a lightweight content management systems. Companies are also increasingly looking to blogs to provide the foundation for a community strategy, both for internal collaboration and external marketing purposes.
Here's an overview of the report;
- iUpload leads with the most complete enterprise level blogging platform.
- WordPress & Movable Type.
- Telligent Systems, Traction Software, TypePad and Drupal.
- UserLand software and Roller.
Charlene evaluated blogging platforms against no less than 54 criteria which can be found under 3 bigger denominators; the current offering of the company, the product strategy and their market presence. You can get a full copy of the report here (1995$ / 15 pages)
To my last Blog & RSS workshop students; now you know why you made your first blog with iUpload Personal Publisher ;-)

What sort of stuff were they looking for? I'm completely positive Squarespace has a larger market share (and probably more features) than a few companies on there, but we weren't contacted. Perhaps they were looking for installable software?
Thanks!

I am almost certain I mentioned Squarespace when I gave my input and I do not think they were exclusively looking for installable software (I'll check the final report and let you know.).
I also strikes me to see that Squarespace is not listed in most comparison charts and studies... You need better PR.
Anyway, I am still a fan and advise clients to give you guys a try, every time.
