Make Your Content An Asset,
Not a Headache Every company is faced with the challenge of managing vast
quantities of content, including electronic documents, web pages, images, even
sound recordings and video clips. This content represents an ever increasing
part of an organization's intellectual capital, though it may be difficult to
locate and live in disparate, isolated systems. An effectively implemented
content management system gathers scattered content and makes it readily
available to the right people at the right time. Enterprise Content Management
In many cases, enterprise content volumes double each year. Content consumers
demand better accessibility and faster response times. Content visibility
expands and diversifies as enterprises seek to deliver PDFs, audio files, video
files, Flash, and other new formats to the Web, cell phones, PDAs, email,
pagers, and other new display devices. Content volatility increases rapidly as
enterprises update content faster and faster and customize content moment by
moment: displaying pertinent content in portlets, extracting and delivering
current contract prices from enterprise systems, reporting up-to-the-minute
status of information, tailoring content to geographic regions or specific
individuals, formatting content for different systems and devices. Content
management and delivery expands globally as content is created and edited across
multiple sites within a single organization. This makes the effective management
and delivery of content both vital and strategic to the success of an
enterprise, whether selling products from a catalog, delivering news and
articles, or managing customer portfolios. Business initiatives begin, not end,
with enterprise content management and delivery. Strategic Content Management To
be successful, strategic content management activities must be distributed
across the enterprise. The content management process should not impose
additional burdens or tasks to participants, nor should it require significant
training or expertise. In essence, strategic content management should be
transparent to the majority of workers. The process of managing content should
be incorporated into the tools and applications that business users work with
every day. FatWire Content Server: Reduces the cost of building and maintaining
