We have always had some kind of an executive panel where senior managers from content managementvendors are questioned on their views of what is happening technology and trend-wise. This is not so much a “face-off” as it is an interactive discussion aimed at providing the audience a chance to hear the different world views of competing suppliers. Understanding the visions behind the marketing, product development, and partnership activity of vendors is at least as important as comparing a feature list and watching demos. Of course, you’ll want to see the demos of these and all the other vendors at Gilbane Boston as well.
WCM-3: Web Content “Management State of the Industry”
Thursday December 4th 11:00am, Westin Copley, Boston
This distinguished panel of technology and market experts will discuss their perspectives on the three or four most important concerns of business managers and IT professionals in planning for and executing WCM initiatives over the next year. The panelists are chosen based on their depth of knowledge within WCM and their ability to identify, analyze, and articulate what the current key concerns are for WCM customers. This interactive discussion will help attendees to identify and address potential liabilities in their own WCM strategies as well as to understand what leading practitioners and technology suppliers envision in their own project/product roadmaps.
