It seems as though the web has come full circle. In the mid 1990’s putting large amounts of text online appeared more important than almost anything else. This was a time when text-heavy sites and brochureware dominated the web. Then, in the late 1990’s and into the early part of the new millennium, web application development was viewed as the top priority. Everyone in the web world was out to develop the “next great web app.”

In 2003 and 2004 the focus of web professionals seems to have shifted back towards text. It is common knowledge that the web browsing public wants meaningful information that is easy to find and always up to date. In most corporate and public organizations the end user’s desire for more up-to-date content outpaces the web professional’s ability to respond. This condition has spawned the creation of hundreds of web content management tools designed to let content owners, not just web professionals, update web pages.

As text-heavy content reigns king on the web, content management tools continue to evolve. This article outlines the process of integrating two of today’s most powerful content management tools: Macromedia Contribute 3 and Interwoven TeamSite 6.0
