This talk will answer the questions: What do you do when your wiki takes off? Are there MediaWiki "distributions" backed by full-time, professional support and documentation?
In short: A review and exploration of the available options for businesses looking for MediaWiki support.
For example: With Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) like eQuality Technology now offering MediaWiki as a pre-built, fully maintained, configured, and extended service; what options are available for corporate IT managers to outsource the technology stack?
Additional topics: How do they compare? Where are the gaps or overlaps? What are the benefits for consultants, like more focus on training, integration and pooling development resources.
Is this a movement? What's in store for hosted MediaWiki?
The Enterprise MediaWiki Conference Spring 2018, or EMWCon Spring 2018, will be held March 21-23 in Houston, TX. EMWCon is a three-day conference featuring discussions of topics related to "Enterprise MediaWiki", i.e. the usage of MediaWiki software by and within companies, non-profits, governments, and other organizations. The intended audience of EMWCon Spring 2018 is anyone who uses, or would like to learn more about, MediaWiki within organizations.
This is the third EMWCon. EMWCon began as a spinoff of the Semantic MediaWiki Conference, or SMWCon, which is an annual conference held each fall in Europe. EMWCon and SMWCon are both three-day conferences with similar topics of discussion, though EMWCon has a broader scope.
