SUMMARY:CM Pros Fall 200 Summit: Web Content Management
LOCATION:Boston, Massachusetts, USA
DESCRIPTION:Event Explores Web Content Management Technologies and Their Im
 pact on the Way We Work
\n
\nRecent advances in content management tools â€
 “ including Semantic Web technologies—are creating dramatic changes to th
 e way organizations and their staffers work. Web content management softwar
 e has made it possible for organizations to increase workplace efficiency t
 hrough collaboration, eliminate unnecessary waste through automation, lower
  cost of production through process improvements and workflow routing, and,
  perhaps most importantly, make possible the delivery of relevant content w
 ith pinpoint accuracy, increasingly, on demand. When localization and trans
 lation enter the equation, these benefits grow exponentially.
\n
\nWhere ca
 n organizations find the knowledge needed to take advantage of these powerf
 ul, paradigm-shifting technologies? The CM Pros Fall 2007 Summit is an exce
 llent starting place. The event will focus on the importance of web content
  management and the technologies that are quickly turning the web into a pl
 atform for the development of business solutions and information services. 
 The Summit will feature presentations, workshops, and roundtable discussion
 s aimed at helping to demystify web content management strategies, tools, s
 tandards, and technologies.
