WHITEPAPER: Improving Productivity And Reducing Risks By Managing
Content As An Asset
The result of 6 months of intensive research, interviews with dozens
of industry leaders, regulators, educators and practitioners,
and many hours of writing and analysis, "Content Management: Improving
Productivity And Reducing Risks By Managing Content As An Asset,"
is jam-packed full of useful information, references, and advice
designed to help readers make the case for content management. It
is aimed at educating managers, CEOs, CIOs, and CFOs why they should
consider content management as a strategy and start thinking of
content as an asset, worthy of being managed.
The authors, Scott Abel, Lisa Woods and Kay Ethier, make the case for
adopting best practices, principles, and processes, and demonstrate
through real-world examples how implementing content management can
help organizations of all sizes avoid embarrassing, expensive, and
preventable content management dilemmas.
If you're looking for ways to operate your business more efficiently,
reduce risks, and gain a competitive edge over the competition,
you'll want to read "Content Management: Improving Productivity And
Reducing Risks By Managing Content As An Asset."
