<p>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?
</p><p>In short: A review and exploration of the available options for businesses looking for MediaWiki support.
</p><p>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?
</p><p>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.
</p><p>Is this a movement? What's in store for hosted MediaWiki?
</p><p>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.
</p>
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.
