Thinking about implementing a content management system? As the demand for technical, training, marketing documentation and product labeling increases, so too does the need to deliver this content more quickly and in more languages. To meet these requirements, many regulated companies are migrating towards structured authoring and content management systems that enable the re-use and re-purposing of existing content.

In this presentation, our speaker draws upon first-hand experience, first with a medical device company and more recently with a localization provider, and discusses tips, challenges, best practices and lessons learned with CMS implementations. Attendees receive valuable insight and hear first-hand how to reap the CMS benefits while minimizing implementation headaches.
