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.

Content Convergence: Making Your Content Work Harder

Organizations invest tremendous amounts of resources on delivering the framework for a great user experience - fabulous website, robust content management infrastructure - yet when it comes to the content itself, there's often a gap. The end result is that the value proposition for customers can't be delivered because the content is insufficient, inadequate, inappropriate and hard to find.

If you're being asked to use your content in more than one way, you might be at the stage where the “more” part includes unfamiliar methods or technologies, syndication or collaborative creation, localization or social media, or communities and user-generated content. This session covers the strategies for delivering the content in ways that meets the user experience needs with sufficient quality to deliver on your brand.

The Case for Value-Based Content Management

In these days of productivity gains and cost reduction at all costs, is what you are optimizing driving value to your customers? Are you maximizing ROI with your content and translation processes, but delivering content used most as doorstops and paperweights?

This presentation draws heavily upon the example of JD Edwards, a company that set the bar in how to efficiently single-source content, reuse it across multiple deliverables and outputs, and get it into target languages. JDE's optimized processes became the poster child for the localization industry and its single-source methodology became the model of best practices for content management thought leaders. Yet, in order to drive value to the customer and the bottom line, JDE had to shift from a cost-based optimization model to a value-based strategy.

Using this case study, we will trace the thought processes that led to the value-based breakthrough and then apply the system dynamic analysis to abstract the factors into a model that can be applied to other applications.
