Course contents
Many organisations are now considering implementing content management
software (CMS) to enable employees that do not have web skills to
contribute content to web sites and intranets. There are well over 50
commercial CMS products on the UK market at the present time, as well as
many open-source products, making the choice a difficult one. Many of these
products only have limited search functionality, so there may also be a
need to purchase search software as well. As a CMS will have an impact
throughout the organisation, especially for intranet users, any failure to
select the most appropriate solution could have serious consequences.
In more detail, the course will cover :
• Features and benefits of a CMS
• Evolution of Enterprise Content Management
• CMS and search technology options
• Writing a CMS specification in terms of business objectives
• Information architecture and metadata issues
• Managing the CMS product selection process
• Managing the implementation process
• Migration of legacy content
• Critical success factors
• Sources of information on content management and search software
