Allan Syiek, a Commandtext Consultant/Principal, will participate in a panel discussion examining case studies of large-scale CMS deployments (Content Technology Works—see below).
Content Technology Works (CTW track)
The Content Technology Works track focuses on analyses of successful deployments of content technologies from the enterprise users perspective. While there are thousands of implementations of content management technologies, accepted best practices are still difficult to find. The Content Technology Works initiative, which is administered by The Gilbane Report, addresses this critical need. Our CTW program is designed to identify and verify emerging best practices. Through our published CTW case studies, we share successful implementations in a marketing-free environment so that more companies can gain the confidence to implement and benefit from content technology. The CTW track comprises presentations by users who have been there and done that. Our user speakers will provide insight and advice about what does and doesnt work based on real experience.
Solutions for Complex Content Applications
There is a wide range in the types of content that enterprises need to manage, all the way from simple listings of contact information for a website, to complex multi-lingual content that is integrated from multiple structured and unstructured information repositories. In this session speakers will share their experiences with deploying technologies that handle the heavy lifting thats required when complex content drives an organizations business.
