Standardized PC or Browser for the business

One of the strategic things to look for ahead of time in implementing a content management system is a standardize PC or at least browser set up for the business enterprise.

The reasoning behind this is that the organizations pc can be configured to only use internet explorer or netscape. One can prevent having to develop an application for a browser that is 8 years old, or even be considerate of that in the development. Also if one is looking at an enterprise CMS, you can be certain that the content owners, have the ability to use the tool. This applies to developing or installing any enterprise wide application.

Setting a standard browser configuration with the latest flash, central and adobe plugins would allow this functionality to happen. It may also be worthy of time to set up a review schedule of the standard configuration, and a mechanism to push an update to all workstations.
