ANNOUNCE: CMS Workshop w/ Steve Manning from
The Rockley Group at LavaCon

A new workshop has been added to the CMS track at LavaCon: Steve Manning, principal of the Rockley Group, will be presenting a workshop on how to choose a content management system that is appropriate for your company.

Making Content Management Work for You (Not the Other Way Around)

In this four hour hands-on workshop, Steve will cover:

o. How to identify the publishing problems your department may be
experiencing
o. How to identify if content management would help alleviate those
problems
o. How to decide how much content management you really need
o. An overview of the many CMS options available
o. Which CMS option would be best given specific budget, time and
resource constraints
o. The real-life issues that arise when rolling out a CMS
o. How much you should really budget for the CMS solution you chose
o. How to calculate the ROI for your content management investment
o. And more

The workshop will also include scenarios requiring various levels of content management so you can practice identifying and planning appropriate CM solutions.

Currently considering content management? Bring information about your specific needs as there will be plenty of time for audience Q&A during the theory and practice parts of the workshop!
