Individual Responses

Question:
What additional questions would you like us to ask the keynote panel or the analyst panel?

Is it a reasonable thing for analysts to accept money from the vendors they evaluate?
How long will we, as content developers and content management professionals, have to wait for tool vendors to get their pieces to interoperate with each other -- since we often buy pieces from each vendor?
How will the different industry-standard DTDs interoperate -- so I can develop content that can go into training material (using SCORM) but also online help (using MAML) and task documentation (using DITA)? How will these DTDs converge in the enterprise?
How do the RoboHelp alternatives currently on the market rate for ease of conversion (from RoboHelp) and ease of use from a technical writer's standpoint. Do any of them have end-user features that are real differentiators?
Thoughts about "tagging" applications, such as de.li.cio.us? Are they appropriate anywhere within a corporate environment?
The role of XML in Content Delivery and storage
integration of systems between authoring tools, publishing tools and translation management.
Question 19 is what I would have written.
How do you share documents in a collaboration environment where government regulations and your company's own IP policies demand different markings/legends dependent on who is viewing them (suppliers versus government), who owns the data, and how the intellectual property was developed?
How will content management merge with Web conferencing?
Open Source seems risky. Is it?
Has anyone come up with an enterprise digital rights management model that works?
Why microformats are affecting the management
Configuration/conditional text capabilities in Content Mamangement/Editor. Configurations of our final product are becoming extremely important, so we will need "configuration dependency" in our Content Management. DITA seems to offer a good start in this area.
What's the role of help authoring applications (robohelp, flare, authorIT) in the short term future of content management systems?
How are corporations addressing global customers?
How to make money from the new interactive web 2.0?
Do you see the future of eDRM and content management coming together? If so, what will tip the scale?
I am specifically interested in implementing an enterprise-wide web content management system at a university. I would be interested in hearing if the panel knows of any research that has been done regarding the use of web content management systems by public and/or private institutions of higher education. Thank you!
Advantages and Disadvantages of using open source CMS solutions versus commercial prodcuts in enterprise environment.
Will translation and localization affect content management strategies in the next 12-24 months?
Are there any NLP tools on the horizon that will help me manage the QUALITY of the content that goes into my CMS - ie, the stuff BETWEEN the tags?
How will translation and localization affect content management strategies in the next 1-2 years?
How are translation and localization requirements affecting content management strategies and what changes in technology and strategic direction can we expect in next 6 months - 2 years?
Do you see large-volume content migration as being a significant element of any Web Content Managment Implementation and what best practices are emerging with regards to methods and controls
When will we see content management applications drive the market for managing unstructured content like we saw with relational data base technology and today's business application market?
Will basic content management and workflow functions become commodities within the next 12 months?
Will basic content management and workflow functions become commodities within the next 12 months?
How will language translation requirements affect content management strategies in the next 12-24 months?
Is the projected revenue from sales of ECM product licenses bound to increase with the entry of IBM, Microsoft and Oracle? How big or small is the impact likely to be?
1) What are some of the top customer uses of ECM products in the market today, and what will be important in 18 months, 3 years and 5 years? 2) What are some of the cool differentiators in terms of the end-user-interfaces being delivered with ECM solutions?
