Wikis
• Initially didn’t integrate with our authentication
• There would be a training overhead for contributors
• We would have to set it up and support it• Little demand
So…
We tested various collaboration tools• Plone - problematic• Choose Wordpress – more user friendly, easy
to administer
Skype
• Skype got a bad reputation• Seen as a threat by network security• Its traffic is encrypted• Its protocols were kept secret• It commandeered PCs for its own purposes
So…
• We initially had a dedicated wireless network• We now have it on our normal wireless network• If there are no issues we would consider it on main
network
FTP
• Huge security risk• Do use a bit of Secure FTP (SFTP)• Not sensible to open up your systems to allow
other people to send you files
Instant Messenger
• We needed a corporate version• Self installers use ‘external authentication’• Contacts needs to be self populated
So…
• We chose Office Communication Server• Works well internally• Now communicates externally
