Content management is a broad topic that refers to the management of unstructured or semi-structured content as a standalone system or a component of another system. Varieties of content management systems (CMS) include: web content management (WCM), enterprise content management (ECM), component content management (CCM), and digital asset management (DAM) systems. Content management systems are also now widely marketed as Digital Experience Management (DEM or DXM, DXP), and Customer Experience Management (CEM or CXM) systems or platforms, and may include additional marketing technology functions.

Content strategy topics include information architecture, content and information models, content globalization, and localization.

Web Content Management Executive Panel

November 19, 2008 / Frank Gilbane / 0 Comments

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.

Moderator: Tony White, Lead Analyst, WCM, Gilbane Group
Speakers:
* Erik Aeyelts Averink, President, SDL Tridion
* John Girard, CEO, Clickability
* Ben Kiker, SVP and Chief Marketing Officer, Interwoven
* John Newton, CTO & Chairman, Alfresco
* Dmitri Tcherevik, CTO, Fatwire

Stephen Arnold, author of the report Beyond Search, as well as two books on Google, has put together a free service that aggregates the headlines from Google’s own blogs. The service is called Overflight. “Overflight is an RSS aggregation service. The service that is now publicly available aggregates the headlines from Google’s 74 Web logs. We group the most recent headlines using the same categories that Google favors.”

Web Globalization Management: Got Certification?

November 9, 2008 / Leonor Ciarlone / 0 Comments

We were recently introduced to the Executive Certification in Web Globalization Management by our friends Nitish Singh and Ulrich Henes during October’s Localization World conference. We’re thrilled to have both Singh and Henes as participants in the Globalization track at Gilbane Boston 2008, December 2-4.

A new venture within the executive education arm of John Cook School of Business at St. Louis University, it is quite an impressive program! And beyond compliments such as well-designed and timely, the program’s message of “why invest now?” — or more pointedly as the program describes, “why supercharge?” — is a mini-lesson in and of itself.

Consider the megatrends that answer these questions: (full text available here)

Megatrend-1: Web will be critical to achieving global expansion.
Megatrend-2: Innovation in the new economy will be driven by blurring of disciplinary boundaries.
Megatrend-3: Hyperconnectivity will redefine how people and organizations communicate.
Megatrend-4: Value systems will compete globally.
Megatrend-5: Smart organizations will harness the power of “Collective Intelligence.”
Megatrend-6: Economies of China, India and Brazil will be future engines of growth.

Powerful food for thought and incentive to check it out — and register for Spring 2009. No travel required!
