Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center (Finalist) http://www.dfhcc.harvard.edu/

The Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center (DF/HCC) was launched in 2000 with a
five-year grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI). It is now the
largest cancer center in the world, consisting of over 800 senior scientists
from clinical, basic and population research. DF/HCC is a geographically
distributed cancer research consortium whose members are affiliated with
seven institutions from the Harvard medical and public health community.
DF/HCC was committed to transforming its existing Web sites into a single
center where researchers can share information with each other and with the
public.

The capability for publishing content needed to be distributed to the
researchers in order to keep the content compelling and current. From a
technological perspective, a content management system (CMS) that could
manage distributed authoring from a hierarchy of contributors was a critical
success factor. The CMS had to be easy to use and encourage continuous
updating in order to keep the content up to date. Additionally, the
technical infrastructure had to enable multiple levels of access and
security because each member institution has its own IT departments and
security firewalls.

DF/HCC decided to implement an open source CMS solution that would be
inexpensive, flexible, very powerful and customizable. The CMS had to be
browser-neutral across multiple network and operational environments. TYPO3
met these criteria and was selected because it supported a wide and deep
information structure. The CMS has many features but requires major
customization.

There are three primary user groups for the CMS: internal consumers
(intranet), external consumers (internet) and content producers. These three
groups break down into subgroups with many unique content and function needs
and perspectives.
