Managing the Information Behind the Content (Cleveland, OH, USA)

Presented by Sacha Fedier from STAR Group in Switzerland

At the core, content is simply a structured compilation of information. Yet far too often, content is managed from the perspective of a “document” or the “consumer’s view” with little or no attention given to the management of the information that is used to create the content. While most companies understand their product life-cycle, very few understand and manage their product information life-cycle.

This presentation will highlight the differences between “content management” and “information management” and the inherent flaws found in the traditional document / content management paradigm. When implemented properly, an information management approach to content management will reduce the complexity of the technical publication production and management process and will provide an all-in-one system that allows the intellectual assets of an enterprise to be captured, reused and leveraged, and target-specific information to be published on-demand.

Find out how companies that have adopted this strategy have reduced their publication costs by as much as 40%, increased their publication productivity by as much as 400%, decreased time to market by as much as 60%, and reduced translation costs by 75% to 95%.
