Customers & Engagement Track (E)

Corporate websites are now the most important public face of an organization, and the best way to grow, and communicate with, a broader customer base. Successful sales and marketing now requires Web sites that can reach a global audience, a mobile audience, and an audience familiar with social media and used to richer media. Websites also need to be findable, accessible, engaging, real-time & responsive, and have accurate and timely information that is synchronized with other channels. This is a tall order, but it is what your customers expect, and what companies are building.

E4. Next Thing You Know… You’re Global
OCLC Online Computer Library Center has served member libraries around the world for years, but became a truly global organization four years ago with the merger of a European partner. With regionalized services and members in the Americas, Asia, Africa, Europe, the Middle East and Australia, and offices in 10 countries, OCLC has quickly outgrown its content management system and infrastructure. Consequently, OCLC recently purchased a state-of-the-art Web content management system to match its business needs. The presentation will feature a case study that includes:

  • Key signs of CMS language insufficiency
  • Chief requirements for a multilingual CMS
  • Selection winners and challengers
  • Strategies for translation automation
  • Lessons learned from implementation and migration
  • Useful tools for scoping, auditing and introducing your site(s) to your new vendor
  • The true cost of making a change

This presentation is aimed at business and Web managers from commercial companies and public organizations who have a need to upgrade their global Web presence. It will be especially useful for those Web professionals who have only a limited translation budget and cannot afford sufficient in-house resources to manage the full translation process.

Moderator: Mary Laplante, Vice President & Lead Analyst, Gilbane Group
