Implementation Strategies for Content Management
Implementing an effective unified content management strategy is a balance between what is desired and what is possible, from both an authoring and a technical perspective. This workshop enables you to make the right decisions to effectively implement your solution on your own, with IT, or with your technology vendor. You will learn about the pros and cons of the key technology components of your solution, why granularity of reuse matters, and how to make informed decisions about standards like DITA (use the standard, extend the standard, or build your own). If you are moving towards XML-based, reuse-focused content management you should not miss this workshop

Differences between public and facilitated sessions
Public sessions are an easy way for an individual to receive training in the concepts and techniques involved in content management. Participants gain knowledge from the expert instructor and they get the opportunity to network and share experiences with others in the field.
Facilitated sessions are completely customized to your needs with your content and with your issues and challenges in mind. You get experts to lead you through the process in the context of your requirements. And you don't just get training in techniques, you get real tangible results like specifications that form the basis of your solution. We help you to avoid the pitfalls and you get results in days that would normally have taken you months on your own. And you can train your whole team at a very reasonable cost.
