Innovate, Collaborate, Create: Component Content Management Steps Onto the Web 2.0 Stage

Track: Software Demonstrations

Experience level: All levels
Room: Shaughnessy I Room

While new technologies have always been of interest to those within the content management industry, it is perhaps Web 2.0 and the possibilities it brings for communication and collaboration that has caused the most excitement and innovation in terms of new products.

As more and more teams now seek to work together collaboratively across multiple locations, states and even oceans, tools have become critical to that success. 

But as the flow of information increases, so too does the requirement to ensure that it is the right information, accessible at the right time, delivered to the right person.

Content Management vendors must therefore ensure their applications provide the capability and flexibility that allow virtual teams to work together efficiently and effectively, while taking full advantage of Web 2.0 functionality.

Join Steve Davis, Author-it President, and Mark Patla, Sales Director North America, who will demonstrate:

  • Component Content Management – what it means and why it is different
  • Author-it key features including content reuse
  • Collaborative authoring functionality including authoring via the web
  • Creating multiple outputs from the same content
  • Knowledge discovery – organizational knowledge accurate and accessible to all
  • What if? Author-it’s vision and future in the Web 2.0 environment
