Tutorial 2B: Web Content Management Systems: Architectures and Products

Join us for a half-day workshop that can help you and your team understand Web Content Management technologies, architectures, and the marketplace. CMS Watch founder Tony Byrne leads an intensive, fast-paced introduction to Web Content Management functionality, product categories, and specific vendors. The tutorial concludes with a roadmap for product selection. Learn:

• 16 steps in the Web CMS lifecycle: questions you should ask and how vendors differ in how they achieve basic functionality
• 7 categories of CMS products, including features and typical price ranges
• Specific characteristics of sample vendors in each category
• How to start evaluating and ultimately select suitable technologies for an organization
• The 4 most common CMS pitfalls, and best practices for avoiding them

This session assumes you have developed a business case and at least some semblance of requirements such that you want to get into the nitty-gritty of product functionality and architectures. As a vendor-neutral presentation, this seminar will enable you to sharpen your organization's CMS needs and identify suitable technology choices.
