Category: Content management & strategy (Page 236 of 481)
This category includes editorial and news blog posts related to content management and content strategy. For older, long form reports, papers, and research on these topics see our Resources page.
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.

Open Text Corporation (TSX:OTC)(NASDAQ:OTEX) said it has committed to offering Open Text’s Artesia Digital Asset Management (DAM) solution for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 database platform. To facilitate deployment of the combined solution, Microsoft has developed the SQL Server Migration Accelerator (SSMA) tool, software that accelerates the migration of back-end data to the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 platform. The SSMA tool reduces the cost and time required for analysis, migration and follow-up testing, streamlining the transition of customers’ DAM solutions to the SQL Server platform. The Open Text Artesia Digital Media Group helps customers address the growing competitive and regulatory pressures to improve the management of digital media content. This group also leads Open Text’s horizontal strategy for digital media as a key component of ECM, and champions the unique ECM requirements of media companies worldwide. Open Text anticipates an accelerated initial rollout of solutions in calendar Q1, 2006. http://www.opentext.com
Translations.com and FatWire Software announced the debut of a combined product offering to eliminate barriers to cooperation between global resources. The integration of these two products provides a collaboration-based solution for localizing global content into multiple languages. The two companies partnered to develop the FatWire Adaptor for GlobalLink, which embeds GlobalLink functionality in Content Server. From within the Content Server interface, users can identify which assets need to be sent out for localization and keep track of the progress of previously localized assets to facilitate updates and revisions. Assets requiring localization are automatically extracted from Content Server and routed to the appropriate user for localization. Upon completion of localization tasks, GlobalLink reinserts the asset into the appropriate place in Content Server. The solution provides workflow integration so that a localization task can be added to one or more existing workflows in FatWire Content Server. Then, whenever an asset reaches that workflow task, it will be sent out for localization through GlobalLink. Upon the return of the localized version of the asset, GlobalLink will initiate a configured workflow. http://www.fatwire.com, http://www.translations.com

Other languages currently supported by Interwoven Document Management include: English, French, German, and Spanish. The Japanese version of Interwoven’s Document Management offering is available now.
We hope to see you at our upcoming Boston conference. But whether you join us or not, you can contribute to the keynote discussion by including questions in a comment on this blog entry. Below is the session description with links to the participant’s bios and their blogs. Let us know what technologies you think we should be discussing. Comments and trackbacks are on.
Keynote Panel: 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 a couple of technologies relevant to content-oriented applications you may not be aware of, or may not think of in the context of content management strategies. Complementing this session are the analyst panel, and the keynote debate on Enterprise use of Blog and Wiki technology.

Verity Inc. (NASDAQ:VRTY) announced it has signed a definitive agreement to be acquired by Autonomy Corporation plc for approximately $500 million, or $13.50 per share. Shareholder directors and executive officers of Autonomy and Verity have agreed to vote shares they own in favor of the acquisition. The all-cash transaction, which requires shareholder approval, is expected to close in late 2005/early 2006 and is subject to customary regulatory closing conditions. When the transaction is closed, the combined entity will be branded Autonomy and maintain global headquarters in Cambridge, England while Verity will become the base for U.S. operations. Dr. Mike Lynch, Autonomy’s group CEO and co-founder will continue as CEO of the expanded group. Anthony J. Bettencourt, CEO of Verity, will assume the role of CEO, Autonomy, Inc., the company’s U.S. unit. Once completed, this transaction is expected to be earnings enhancing (before any amortization of intangible assets) to Autonomy in the first full quarter following completion.
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) published eight documents in the XML family as Candidate Recommendations, sending a signal to the developer community that the new features are ready for implementation. XSLT 2.0 is a major revision to the XSL Transformations language. XSLT transforms XML content into other formats, including other XML formats. As an example, one may use XSLT to transform XML output from a database into an XHTML Web site or set of print-ready XSL-FO documents. XSLT 2.0 standardizes many features that were previously only available as extensions, such as the ability to create multiple output documents or to create user-defined XPath functions. With stronger support for internationalization and richer tools for the programmer, XSLT 2.0 is better suited for the large-scale mission-critical deployment for which XSLT 1.0 is already being used. In addition to new functionality, XSLT 2.0 introduces strong typing and supports the optional use of W3C XML Schema. Like XSLT 2.0, XML Query shares the use of W3C XML Schema to give a strongly-typed programming or scripting language and relies on XPath 2.0 as the selection vocabulary. With XML Query, one can run cross-vendor cross-database joins between multiple forms of data, including XML documents, XML-native stores, and relational database tables. XSLT 2.0 and XML Query 1.0 provide a standard for database integration. The Java Community Process has released initial work on XQJ, the XQuery API for Java, and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has already incorporated XML Query into SQL in part 14 of ISO SQL (SQL/XML). http://www.w3.org/2005/10/xslt-xquery-xpath-cr-pressrelease
Kentico Software, a web content management solutions vendor, has added ASP.NET 2.0 support to the latest version of Kentico CMS. The new version works with ASP.NET 2.0, Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005, including their Express Editions. The new version 1.7b of Kentico CMS supports not only ASP.NET 1.1, but also the latest Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0 platform, Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005. The choice of the ASP.NET 2.0 platform allows web developers not only to create web sites with less code, but also to use the free Express Editions of Microsoft Visual Web Developer and SQL Server 2005. Kentico plans to support both ASP.NET 1.1 and 2.0 platforms in the nearest releases, until majority of web developers switch to the new version. http://www.kentico.com
