The focus is Web Content Management Technologies and Their Impact on the Way We Work. The Fall 2007 CM Pros Summit, takes place November 26, 2007 (in conjunction with the 4th Annual Gilbane Conference on Content Technologies Boston) at the Westin Copley Place. Early bird registrants save $100 on registration by September 30, 2007.

Web content management software has made it possible for organizations to increase workplace efficiency through collaboration, eliminate unnecessary waste through automation, lower cost of production through process improvements and workflow routing, and, perhaps most importantly, make possible the delivery of relevant content with pinpoint accuracy, increasingly, on demand. When localization and translation enter the equation, these benefits grow exponentially.

Where can organizations find the knowledge needed to take advantage of these powerful, paradigm-shifting technologies? The CM Pros Fall 2007 Summit is an excellent starting place. (more…)

In this interactive online event, you the participants, and content management strategist Scott Abel, will be interviewing Career and Performance Consultant Emma C. Hamer on one of the most critical issues of content management success: Change Management. Scott and Emma were voted two of the most valuable speakers at X-Pubs 2006 in London, and are teaming up to with X-Pubs again to present the online event: “CMS & Change - Love it, Hate it, Master it”.

Every new technology project that seeks to change the way people are used to working is put at risk by non-adoption by users, intermittent support by managers, and disparate expectations between the users, management, and the team implementing the system itself.

X-Pubs are facilitating a discussion around Change Management because although the business benefits of multi-purpose content reuse and single-source publishing of information are becoming commonly accepted, something still makes CMS and Structured Content scary.

In this session we will cover things like: How can you maintain management support and involvement in a user-driven initiative? How can department managers roll-out change to a large user group without turning them off? How does a line manager help transition people’s skills to new systems?

Attendees will also be invited to participate in the discussion by submitting questions for Scott and Emma to address for the group.

STC has posted a preview of the 2007 annual conference at http://www.stc-cdx.org/node/414. There are Institutes in content management, localization, knowledge management, information design and architecture, and Web 2.0.
