Cambridge, MA, February 1, 2005. The Gilbane Report and Lighthouse Seminars today announced that the Gilbane Conference on Content Management will take place April 11-13 at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco, California. This event brings together 750 thought leaders and practitioners to provide attendees with actionable advice, techniques, best practices, and case studies to help understand and successfully implement content technologies critical to their businesses.

The Gilbane Conference on Content Management is unique in that the majority of its conference sessions are delivered by industry analysts and researchers to offer attendees a neutral and balanced market perspective related to content technologies and trends. The program is organized into five technology-specific areas: Content Management, Enterprise Search & Knowledge Management, Content Technology Works (case studies), Document & Records Management & Compliance, and Enterprise Information Integration.

The conference has three dynamic keynote addresses: 

— The opening keynote address is an industry analyst panel discussion comprised of experts from Forrester Research, CMS Watch, The Yankee Group, Patricia Seybold Group and InfoTrends/CAP Ventures. This panel will discuss the big issues affecting content management strategies, including market trends, technology, and best practices. The panel will discus the current market environment, but importantly, offer predictions about what to expect in the next 12-18 months.

— The second keynote is titled, “Microsoft & Sun: What is the Right XML Strategy for Information Interchange?” At one level this can be framed as a debate between Microsoft and Sun/OpenOffice.org – and that is a choice organizations will have to make, but it is more complicated than that. Attendees will learn what XML experts consider the best strategy for preserving and protecting critical business content in electronic documents.

— The day two keynote address complements the opening keynote on technology and trends by having end-users share their real-world implementations of content technologies.

In addition, there are four half-day intensive sessions on “Web Content Management Systems: Architectures & Products,” “Using XML in Enterprise Content Management: Technologies & Case Studies,” “Enterprise Search: Principles, Players, Practices & Pitfalls,” and “Taxonomies & Metadata for Business Impact.”

“We are focused on hosting an educational conference that includes everything IT Strategists and project teams needs to know in a hype-free environment that offers insights into existing and upcoming technologies necessary to implement content management applications,” said Frank Gilbane, Conference Chair. “Nothing can compare with the rich in-depth learning experience of being surrounded by subject matter experts and industry colleagues in a vendor-neutral environment who are at various stages of implementing initial, or second or third projects that you can learn from. Our event fosters interaction between all stakeholders in the content technology community, with the ultimate goal of increasing the successful implementation and deployment of content technology.”

Stellent Releases Universal Content Management 7.5

Stellent, Inc. announced the release of Stellent Universal Content Management 7.5. Stellent’s new metadata management model allows users to view metadata fields in context. In other words, users only see metadata applicable to them at a certain point in time. For example, rather than only controlling metadata fields based on document type, Stellent now offers the ability to control metadata based on user roles, document status and a variety of other criteria. With version 7.5, Stellent folders automatically appear on the email client without client software, and Stellent users can now drag and drop email messages and attachments directly from their email system into Stellent Content Server. Version 7.5’s new digital asset management (DAM) capabilities make it easier for organizations to utilize images and videos. For example, version 7.5 automatically converts image files from a single source into a variety of formats, such as GIF and TIF files. This process optimizes images for various types of consumption, such as PowerPoint presentations and Web sites, while managing all of the renditions as a single object. Universal Content Management 7.5 also offers similar conversion capabilities for video files. In version 7.5, Stellent Desktop Integration provides a common interface for users desiring richer functionality than that exposed in Web interfaces, WebDAV or email server integrations. Stellent Universal Content Management version 7.5 is available today. www.stellent.com

The targeted solutions will monitor previously unmanaged content for compliance and allow quick access to files for discovery purposes.

StoredIQ 3.0 is the basis for a suite of content-driven compliance and security applications. The company is also announcing the first such application, HIPAA Solutions Pack, an automated solution that addresses HIPAA security compliance requirements for files.

Finally, reports and advisory messages are delivered to end-users and auditors to ensure that compliance is maintained over time. Implemented on a self-contained appliance that doesn’t require any external software agents, StoredIQ 3.0 supports files on NT, UNIX/Linux and NetWare file systems. www.StoredIQ.com
