Understanding Component Content Management

Track: Component Content Management
Experience level: All levels
Room: Pinnacle Ballroom 3
There are a plethora of content management systems on the market; Enterprise Content Management, Document Management, Web Content Management, etc. But if you are creating reusable structured content, your focus is on managing components of content. While some of the other types of content management systems may meet your needs, a Component Content Management (CCM) system is ideally suited to your requirements.
CCM systems manage content at a granular (component) level of content, rather than at the page or document level. Each component represents a single topic, concept, or asset (such as an image or table). Components are assembled into multiple content assemblies (content types) and can be viewed as components or as traditional pages or documents. Each component has its own lifecycle (owner, version, approval, use) and can be tracked individually or as part of an assembly. CCM is typically used for multichannel customer-facing content (marketing, learning, support). CCM can be a separate system or be a functionality of another content management type (such as ECM).
This session will focus on:
- What is a Component Content Management System (CCM)
- The benefits of CCM
- The three types of CCM
- A survey of the industry
