    <full-description>Event Explores Web Content Management Technologies and Their Impact on the Way We Work

Recent advances in content management tools &#226;&#8364;&#8220; including Semantic Web technologies&#226;&#8364;&#8221;are creating dramatic changes to the way organizations and their staffers work. Web content management software has made it possible for organizations to increase workplace efficiency through 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 with pinpoint accuracy, increasingly, on demand. When localization and translation enter the equation, these benefits grow exponentially.

Where can organizations find the knowledge needed to take advantage of these powerful, paradigm-shifting technologies? The CM Pros Fall 2007 Summit is an excellent starting place. The event will focus on the importance of web content management and the technologies that are quickly turning the web into a platform for the development of business solutions and information services. The Summit will feature presentations, workshops, and roundtable discussions aimed at helping to demystify web content management strategies, tools, standards, and technologies. </full-description>
