Untangling your Web site

Article Abstract:

NCompass Labs' Resolution Web manager is highly recommended for someone starting out with a small intranet. Installing and using the software is easy, and nontechnical users will appreciate the product's clearly written tutorials and intuitive interface. Resolution comes with templates, including ones for business requirements, such as sales or human resources. A drawback is Resolution's production server, which only accommodates 24 concurrent contributors. NCompass intends to remedy this in a forthcoming version.
