Keeping it simple

Spent most of the morning in a session looking at a CMS for recruitment which is being deployed on our website and intranet site this quarter. Couple of points for me. One – hadn’t realised how excited I am about CMS. Sad I know but never met a CMS that I didn’t want to interrogate with questions on keywords, search, T7Cs etc. Secondly, it pained me that we spend so much time on tweaking systems with workflows that may happen once in a million occurrences. I suppose its good that we attempt to cater for the quirks of users/publishers, but these ‘refinements’ make it so much harder to deploy as a simple, efficient system.
