Content Management (CMS) Today: Issues, Technologies, and Standards

Most organizations have several existing CMS systems and therefore new systems are often characterized by integration. We now have 30 years of experience with content management systems and many new technologies have evolved. To succeed, it is important to understand the acronym soup (CMS, ECM, WCM, DM, DAM, CRM, DRM, KM, etc.) Our panel of experts will discuss the prevalent issues, strengths, and weaknesses, that characterize CMS implementations. Real-world experiences will be shared with attendees, along with a spirited discussion of the “hot topics” in CMS today.
