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.

Smarsh introduces voice capture and archiving for Microsoft Teams

Smarsh introduced voice recording, transcription and archiving support for Microsoft Teams. Already providing text-based capture and archiving for Teams, Smarsh now enables clients to adopt another mode of communication and collaboration to help regulated organizations meet compliance and e-discovery obligations. Teams audio files can be transcribed in over 120 languages and regional dialects. Once ingested into Smarsh Connected Archive solutions, content is automatically indexed, stored in immutable format and accessible at any time in a search-ready state. Customers can play back voice calls (including those made within and outside of Teams meetings), and search voice transcriptions and call metadata alongside all of the content within their archive. They can also extend Supervision and Discovery workflows to include Teams voice content.

Beyond support for voice files and transcription, Smarsh captures content in one-to-one chats, multi-party chats and persistent channels including edits, deletes, replies, emojis, GIFs, files, stickers and links. Smarsh also captures content across other channels, including email, mobile text messages, collaboration platforms, social media and voice channels. Content can be ingested into Smarsh Connected Archive solutions or can be exported to an existing archive or enterprise content management (ECM) system.

MarkLogic announces Data Hub Central for simplified data integration

MarkLogic Corporation announced Data Hub Central, the newest capability of MarkLogic Data Hub Service. Data Hub Central provides a simple user interface for self-service data integration where developers, architects, and business analysts can collaborate to integrate, explore, analyze, and share consistent data assets tailored to business needs. With MarkLogic’s built-in search capability, Data Hub Central enables analysts to “shop” for the exact data sets needed to solve business problems. Data sets can be saved, shared, and re-used in popular BI tools – without having to make an IT request.

Data Hub Central spans the integration lifecycle in a single interface. It enables architects who are tasked with overseeing data modeling and governance to collaborate with business analysts to define data models and relationships in the language of the business. Systems analysts, who understand source systems and data, can go to Data Hub Central to look at and adjust the model. As the model is adjusted, data can be loaded from multiple source systems to see how it maps to the target model, as it is changed. Developers have a centralized source of data assets and do not have to wait on lengthy ETL cycles to get access to the data. While Data Hub Central provides no-code capabilities, it is also extensible. While data experts are using it to integrate the data, developers can write re-usable components that extend and customize it. Because Data Hub Central runs as part of MarkLogic Data Hub Service, it has the same enterprise data security capabilities enforced at the data layer.

Sitecore Content Hub integrates CHILI publisher

CHILI publisher and Sitecore joined forces to optimize the content creation process and centralize all marketing assets from different management systems with Sitecore Content Hub. CHILI publisher, the online editing software for artwork and marketing material creation, turns original designs based on these assets into Smart Templates. These documents can be edited and repurposed by any user within Sitecore Content Hub into brand-compliant print or digital visuals.

Sitecore Content Hub integrates with different content sources (DAM, ERP, PLM, CRM, …) within a company and centralizes key content into one channel that acts as a single source of truth for asset collection and distribution. By maximizing the content lifecycle, users can reuse and repurpose existing content while scaling the creation of new content. CHILI publisher runs on Smart Templates that convert source files via plug-ins into editable documents. The Smart Templates define the content or brand constraints, allow variables (sizes, visuals, text,…), add extra data, and contain template intelligence, enabling users to generate multichannel content. Smart Templates work with content blocks (snippets) that allow users to change files on a granular level to generate any –“ization” they want, like localization, regionalization, customization. Various users from different divisions within any company can create content visuals that are safe, integrated, updated, and stored centrally.

  • Automatically discover and classify sensitive information present on websites such as banking details, passport numbers, medical information, and more
  • Customize scans based on existing data privacy standards like the GDPR, CCPA, and the Australian Privacy Act (The Privacy Act 1988)
  • Prioritize potential issues by identifying the level of risk associated with the different data on websites
  • Prove efforts to comply with data privacy standards to the authorities through audit logs and a history center
