Why spend £20k plus on another vendor product when you can get RedDot for free?

Unfortunately, the answer to this question is not quite so simple. Unless you happen to be in Germany or Switzerland where the license swop offer is being actively promoted.

In the UK things are somewhat different with RedDot appearing to view existing Livelink WCM PS (Obtree) users as little more than a sales opportunity. But why the different approach between the countries you ask? That’s definitely not one for us to answer suffice to say that Mimtech have collaborated directly with RedDot in Germany and Switzerland since Autumn 2007 and we’re confident we can help you to secure the same
license swop offer in the UK. Taking this into account here are the top 5 reasons you should consider upgrading to RedDot in 2009:
  1. FREE license swop offer,
  2. No software procurement process,
  3. Mim:switch migration toolset and methodology,
  4. RedDot’s legendary ease of use,
  5. Continuity of support services.

Migrating to another vendor’s product is the second option you have and there’s nothing quite as exciting as a brand new project to kick the new year off with!

If you’ve already put a cross through RedDot to exclude it from consideration as a possible replacement to Livelink WCM PS (Obtree) then there’s a great little blog on CMS Watch that you should read entitled Who loves the incumbent vendor?

Taking everything into account, including the FREE license swop offer, if you still decide that the time is right to move to another vendor’s product then Mimtech’s vendor agnostic status makes us uniquely placed to offer independent advice.

Software vendors invariably apply pressure on us to become single vendor dependent and focus on their, and we quote; ... "world leading, best-of-breed web content management solution". This simply does not fit with our business ethos.

There are a lot of great web content management solutions out there. Unfortunately, the typical way organisations procure them may leave them vulnerable to over enthusiastic sales techniques.
