The conference program is entirely focused on content technologies, and includes 27 educational sessions covering today’s most critical issues for businesses planning or implementing a content management strategy. The program is organized into 6 tracks so attendees with specific interests can easily organize their itinerary. The tracks are: Content Management, Enterprise Search & Knowledge Management and Collaboration; Document & Records Management; Enterprise Information Integration; Digital Asset Management; and Content Technology Works Best Practices and Case Studies. In addition, there are 3 half-day intensive workshops on: “ Web Content Management Systems: Principles, Products & Practices”, “Content Technology Choices for Technical Communicators”, and “Enterprise Search – Principles, Players, Practices, & Pitfalls”.

The conference faculty consists of 65+ speakers carefully chosen for their expertise and communication capability, and is comprised of analysts, consultants, and practitioners from many vertical industries who have successfully implemented content technology applications . In addition, there are technology experts from content technology suppliers.

Leading analysts and consultants from Robert W. Baird & Co., IDC, InfoWorld, Ovum, Delphi, Yankee Group, InfoTrends/CAP Ventures, CMSWatch, the Gilbane Report, and many others, will provide insight on technology and market trends and tell you how to get started on a successful project.

“Content management technologies need to be core components of most enterprise applications today.” said Frank Gilbane, Conference Chair, “But there is such a broad array of content technologies and a lack of experience integrating them that businesses have been rightfully cautious. That is why it is critical to share successful examples of content technology deployments, and to provide a well-balanced and critical analysis of the technologies and issues. By bringing together experts from all industry constituencies, we can ensure attendees are well-informed and prepared for success.”

In addition, Stellent demonstrated its extensible metadata model can simplify the process of declaring and searching for records, and its reporting and auditing features can track all user interactions in the system. The U.S. DoD 5015.2 – STD Chapter 4 certification verifies Stellent Records Management’s ability to control the creation, declaration, classification, retention and destruction of electronic and non-electronic records, including scanned documents.

Xerox Corporation’s Global Services division has developed a systems integrator alliance with Microsoft Corporation, designed to help businesses improve the connections between their office workers and business-critical information. By combining Xerox Global Services’ document management know-how with Microsoft technology, the partnership will help customers capitalize on XML-based content management solutions, which essentially “tag” information so workers can extract precisely the information they need when they need it. Key to the alliance strategy is Xerox Global Services’ Information Worker Productivity Assessment, based on Lean Six Sigma methodologies. The assessment begins with Xerox experts who evaluate how a company and its people create, share and manage content and documents. Then Xerox and Microsoft use the IWPA data to identify ways to achieve efficiency gains, cost-savings and improved access to critical business information. By leveraging the smart document capabilities built into Microsoft Office 2003, Xerox helps businesses leverage XML and XML Web Services to streamline document-intensive business processes, such as airline maintenance and repair advisory bulletins, product documentation and regulatory compliance filings. www.xerox.com/globalservices
