The Gilbane Report and Lighthouse Seminars announced that the Gilbane Conference on Content Management will take place November 29th – December 1st at The Westin Copley Place in Boston, Massachusetts. This annual event brings together thought leaders and practitioners to provide attendees with actionable advice, techniques, best practices, and case studies to help successfully implement content technologies critical to their businesses.

The tracks include a: Content Managers Track (CM), Content Technologists Track (CT), Marketing Managers Track (MT), Business & Compliance Managers Track (BC). In addition to our four job-function tracks a special track presents and examines case studies that have been evaluated as part of the Gilbane Content Technology Works Program. The emphasis is on all aspects of successful implementations. The conference has three dynamic keynote panels: “New Technologies You Need to Consider for Content Management Strategies”, moderated by Frank Gilbane, with Jon Udell, Lead Analyst, InfoWorld, Coach K. Wei, Founder and CTO, Nexaweb, Jean-Philippe Gauthier, General Manager, Sympatico/MSN, and Bob Wyman, CTO and Co-founder, PubSub; “Blog, Wiki, and RSS Technology – Are they Enterprise Ready?

Yaletown Technology Group Inc. announced the availability of Records Crawler for FileNet. Records Crawler, a component of YTG’s CONSPECT compliance solution, is a records management tool integrated with FileNet’s FileNet P8 Records Management suite, providing management and integration of content assets that reside outside of FileNet ECM repositories. Based on YTG’s extensible Universal File Importer (UFI) technology, Records Crawler for FileNet is a server side engine which searches network drives and user hard drives for important documents that must be managed in accordance with corporate policies, and should not be managed independently by users. Upon finding uncontrolled documents, Records Crawler applies policies to those documents and depending on the status of the files, will take appropriate action such as delete the document, create a shortcut to the official version stored in the repository, declare the document as a record, import the document directly into the records repository, or modify the security of the document in the file system so it cannot be edited or changed.
