What’s On Your Mind 2010: WCM Edition
May 5th, 2010 by Troy Winfrey | web content management | No Comments
At the J. Boye Philadelphia 2010 conference, the J. Boye concept of 'communities of practice' is taken a step further. Web and interactive professionals meet in an 'unconference' designed to let them share insights, generate ideas, and make connections in an informal, vendor-free setting. This year, Janus asked attendees to jot down the questions they've been thinking about so far in 2010. Here's what people were wondering about content management systems.
- What work needs to be done going from no CMS to SharePoint to configure, plan, arrange for migration of content so that it is then targeted, searchable, effective, etc. (and from cleaning up the content)?
- How can CMS platforms improve such that upfront time/money/effort is reduced (e.g., new features, different approaches, better knowledge, etc.)?
- How does a Web CMS vendor differentiate itself in a saturated market?

- How to use awareness in management for your projects?
- How to create a good user experience that mixes both online and offline strategies?
