Los Angeles, CA , March 24, 2004 . Today at the Gilbane Conference on Content Management the Gilbane Report announced that the first round of in-depth content technology success stories is set for publication in early April. Industry leading enterprises will be providing unprecedented insight into their successful deployments of content technology include Avnet, CMP, Giunti Labs, IDX Systems Corporation, Meredith, Nextance and others.

“The CTW initiative is a unique initiative that focuses on the most important elements of a successful content technology deployment without commercializing the results,” said Tina Steil, Director, Enabling Technologies, Meredith Corporation. “We are delighted to be recognized for our work in this area.”

“I think the work of the CTW initiative is valuable and important,” said Cindy Johnson, Director Education Technologies, IDX Corporation. “We certainly would have profited by access to this kind of information at the start of our own enterprise content management initiative.”

“I am extremely impressed with the ingenuity of the enterprises we have been working with and gratified by the enthusiasm that this material is generating,” said Sebastian Holst, Senior Editor of The Gilbane Report.

Early access to this material can be found in the CTW conference track at The Gilbane Conference on Content Management being held this week in Los Angeles where speakers from Avnet, Boeing, CMP, Hewlett Packard, Meredith, Shimano and Sony Pictures are sharing their recipes for successful content technology deployment.
