Web Content Management Systems: Architectures & Products
Instructor: Tony Byrne, Founder, CMS Watch, Publisher, The CMS Report
Join us for a half-day tutorial that can help you and your team understand Web Content Management technologies, architectures, and the marketplace. CMS Watch founder Tony Byrne leads an intensive, fast-paced introduction to Web Content Management functionality, product categories, and specific vendors. The session concludes with a roadmap for product selection. Learn:
- 16 steps in the Web CMS lifecycle: questions you should ask and how vendors differ in how they achieve basic functionality
- 7 categories of CMS products, including features and typical price ranges
- Specific characteristics of sample vendors in each category
- How to start evaluating and ultimately select suitable technologies for an organization
- The 4 most common CMS pitfalls, and best practices for avoiding them
This session assumes you have developed a business case and at least some semblance of requirements such that you want to get into the nitty-gritty of product functionality and architectures. As a vendor-neutral presentation, this seminar will enable you to sharpen your organization's CMS needs and identify suitable technology choices.
