Is that platform Drupal?
I am guessing that once TATE launch their new Drupal driven website, we will see more and more intitutions moving on to this open source platform (even though I don't really like it personally).
I am told a similar thing happened in the charity sector and now Drupal is the platform everyone uses, as it fits with the open source ethics of those organisations and makes it easier to shift to a different web agency if unhappy.
Even though I believe our custom built CMS is better, I think we'll have to move over to developing on Drupal if we wish to continue to work with museums and galleries.
I'd be interested to hear what other people feel about Drupal within the sector?
