Cambridge, MA, September 19, 2005. The Gilbane Report and Lighthouse Seminars today announced that the Gilbane Conference on Content Management will take place November 29th – December 1st at The Westin Copley Place in Boston, Massachusetts. This annual event brings together thought leaders and practitioners to provide attendees with actionable advice, techniques, best practices, and case studies to help successfully implement content technologies critical to their businesses.

Because of the need to apply content technologies throughout enterprises, the variety of business applications involved, and the diversity of relevant content technologies, the conference program is organized by categories of job function, rather than by technology. The five tracks are:

Content Managers Track (CM). This track is for anyone managing content of any type, for everything from small websites, to knowledge management intranets, to large enterprise content strategies.

Content Technologists Track (CT). These sessions are for IT or technically oriented content or business managers. The material is a little more technical and looks at a select set of content-related technologies.

Marketing Managers Track (MT). This track is designed for content managers who need to manage marketing content, whether for an e-commerce site or a cross-media brand or publishing strategy.

Business & Compliance Managers Track (BC). This track is for managers responsible for compliance, governance, and managing content to enhance business processes and risk reduction.

Content Technology Works Track (CTW). In addition to our four job-function tracks this special track presents and examines case studies that have been evaluated as part of the Gilbane Content Technology Works Program. The emphasis is on all aspects of successful implementations.

The conference has three dynamic keynote panels:

New Technologies You Need to Consider for Content Management Strategies

The pace of information technology development continues to increase as organizations develop experience in implementing content applications, and as software vendors vie to incorporate their customer’s feedback into product technologies ahead of the competition. As most enterprise applications become more content-oriented, content technology developments are coming from a broader base of suppliers and developers. This session will look at technologies relevant to content-oriented applications many people may not be aware of, or may not think of in the context of content management strategies.

Moderator: Frank Gilbane, Conference Chair, Editor & Publisher, The Gilbane Report
Participants:
— Jon Udell, Lead Analyst, InfoWorld
— Coach K. Wei, Founder and CTO, Nexaweb
— Jean-Philippe Gauthier, General Manager, Sympatico/MSN,
— Bob Wyman, CTO and Co-founder, PubSub

Blog, Wiki, and RSS Technology – Are they Enterprise Ready? Applicable? Or a Passing Tempest in a Teacup?

Most organizations have probably not seriously considered using these technologies in enterprise applications. Yet there are companies using these technologies for collaboration, knowledge management, and publishing applications in corporate environments, and there are vendors marketing products based on these to businesses like yours. Do these companies only represent the experimental fringe, or are they early adopters of technologies that will soon be part of every IT department’s bag of tricks? This session will focus on the suitability of these for corporate use and hear from both skeptics and proponents of, for example enterprise or group blogs.

Moderator: Frank Gilbane, Conference Chair
Participants:
— David Berlind, Executive Editor, ZDNet
— Ross Mayfield, CEO, Socialtext, Inc.
— Bill Zoellick, Senior Analyst, The Gilbane Report
— Charlie Wood, Principal, Spanning Partners, LLC

Thursday, December 1 at 8:30 a.m.
Enterprise Panel on Best Practices & Implementation Strategies

Speakers in the keynote session for the CTW track complement the opening keynote on technology and trends by sharing their experiences with actually putting content technology to work. This panel features enterprise executives who will describe how their companies leverage the technologies discussed in the first keynote. This session will examine actual business and IT planning scenarios and identify the characteristics associated with successful content technology deployment.

Moderator: Mary Laplante, VP Consulting Services, Bluebill Advisors, Sr. Editor, Gilbane Report
Participants:
— Pat Tiernan, Vice President of Content and Product Data Management, Hewlett-Packard Company

“We have once again built a program anchored by a cross-section of industry thought leaders that provides independent analysis and market perspectives that can’t be found at any other event,” said Frank Gilbane, Conference Chair. “We are focused on hosting an educational conference that includes everything IT Strategists and project teams need to know in a hype-free environment that offers insights into existing and upcoming technologies necessary to implement content-oriented applications.”

Yaletown Announces Records Crawler for FileNet

Yaletown Technology Group Inc. announced the availability of Records Crawler for FileNet. Records Crawler, a component of YTG’s CONSPECT compliance solution, is a records management tool integrated with FileNet’s FileNet P8 Records Management suite, providing management and integration of content assets that reside outside of FileNet ECM repositories. Based on YTG’s extensible Universal File Importer (UFI) technology, Records Crawler for FileNet is a server side engine which searches network drives and user hard drives for important documents that must be managed in accordance with corporate policies, and should not be managed independently by users. Upon finding uncontrolled documents, Records Crawler applies policies to those documents and depending on the status of the files, will take appropriate action such as delete the document, create a shortcut to the official version stored in the repository, declare the document as a record, import the document directly into the records repository, or modify the security of the document in the file system so it cannot be edited or changed.
