CM Pros Workshops

Open Source and Content Migration

The CM Pros FallSummit 2009 will consist of
two interactive and engaging workshops,
enabling you to pose your questions to our panel of experts in a collaborative environment.

For each workshop, three 20-minute presentations will be followed by our expert panel discussion, and completed with
round table open discussions on the topics that are most meaningful to you.

Open Source Products and Standards and the impact on Information Management How is the open source movement and development of standards impacting WCM, ECM, and CCM? Enterprises are starting to understand that delivering content in better, smarter ways is becoming the next frontier. That means open-source models for content that can easily be converged,integrated, syndicated, and shared. Using open source content as part of your strategy addresses issues of not only operational efficiencies but brand management, and can create value for users in new ways.

Content Migration - the Dirty Little Secret of Content Management One of the most critical, complex, and widely overlooked steps of content management implementations. Analysis complete, your team selects a new web content management system. So, what's the plan for migrating content from your existing CMS? What should be migrated? Who will do what and how? Your team members look around and then run for cover. Content migrations are the dirty little secret we don't often talk about...until now. We'll consider the strategic plan, the tactical approach and the end user. This workshop will examine the issues and the best practices of migrating content. Attendees will get a clear picture of the severity of not planning for content migration, and a definitive plan on how best to tackle the problem.
