Information Architecture for Content Management

Information Architecture for Content Management introduces you to concepts required to develop the information architecture for your content management strategy. Information architecture is a key component of a successful content management strategy. It is the backbone of your strategy and formalizes the structure of your content, helping you to determine rules for identifying, managing, retrieving, and delivering your content.

  • The business reasons for adopting a unified content strategy

    • Repository structure (reusable building blocks, logical structures for content)
    • Reuse management rules (e.g., how to handle derivative reuse [reuse with change], how to determine what is source content when multiple authors/editors reuse and make changes to the same piece of content)
    • Metadata for reuse and retrieval (categorization, element)

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.
