ANNOUNCE: Mining for Information: Locating Useful Information on
CMS Vendor Web Sites
In this issue of The Rockley Bulletin, we explore the challenge of
locating content of value on commericial content management software
vendor websites. You'll find links to useful content management
whitepapers, case studies and success stories that can help you learn from
others. And, you'll discover links to upcoming vendor-sponsored webinars
on global publishing, the Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA)
and more.

valuable to those hoping to make the case for content management in their
organization, or those just trying to learn as much as possible, without
all that distracting marketing noise.
