"At the University of North Carolina School of Medicine and affiliated hospitals, intranet and Web site users felt like they were 'visiting a foreign land' each time they landed on a different department, says UNC Healthcare IT staff director Jim Walsh. Each department had it own look and feel, which made a hodge-podge for people going from site to site to perform searches and look up information. Today, however, after a revamp that included migration to the Plone open source content management system, site visitors have sense of a unified organization, and UNC staff feel at home with the new technology.
Walsh knew he was going to have to make a change in the corporate intranet and outward-facing Internet. "We needed to have a single unified presence, both internal and external, for all our customers."
