INFORMATION CONTENT MANAGEMENT

Transcription

1 INFORMATION CONTENT MANAGEMENT Knowledge is universally recognized as the most important strategic asset that an organisation has. Despite this recognition many information units are being closed or downsized and organisations are encouraging information users to acquire, control and manage their own resources that support knowledge creation and development. Controlling the acquisition of, and access to, information resources is becoming increasingly difficult as vendors bypass the information professionals and market directly to the end-user. Compounding this problem is the availability of information in a multitude of formats and the exponential growth in the number of products available. This necessitates a higher level of evaluation and control to ensure that quality information is available to those who need it. Because of this proliferation of information products and delivery methods, information users within organisations are suffering from 'information overload' and in many cases are using a variety of resources to gather their information, some of which may not be appropriate for their needs. Many organisations are structured in such a way that the business units operate independently of one another, yet they rely on similar information resources. Some operate without the resources they need because they don't know where to find them, while others engage in 'information overkill' and purchase anything that looks like it might be relevant. Consequently there are often significant gaps, inconsistencies and duplications in information resources within an organisation. As an organization, you will find a Content Management System necessary if you: Use the same content over and over again in one publication (i.e., a warning in an instruction manual may be used 10 times within that manual). Use the same content in more than one publication or document (i.e., a part number and description in a parts catalog may also be used in the user's guide).

2 Publish their content to more than one media channel (i.e., the content in a printed instruction manual that ships with the product may also be used in the online help information). Publish their content in multiple languages. Some types of publications that your organization produces might include but not limited to: Technical documentation (parts catalogs, software documentation, user manuals) Reference materials (encyclopedias, dictionaries, standards guides) Testing and training materials (e-learning programs, testing booklets) Marketing and educational materials (packaging, promotional flyers and ads, brochures) Etc. Most government agencies consist of multiple departments, each preparing its own unique set of documents. This can make content management across the agency an especially daunting challenge. Deploying a system that provides an effective content management for government agencies that can streamline and simplify the entire document management process. It's not easy to manage the massive amounts of data and documentation your county needs to function efficiently. Managing and producing marketing materials, users' manuals, website content and training materials can tax already overloaded communications departments. And let's face it: sharing and managing content with multiple departments in the enterprise can be challenging.

3 If your current Content Management System isn't getting the job done, or if you're not currently using any form of content management, it can impact your organization in a number of ways. You're likely to have difficulty producing important documents quickly, and making revisions can be a chore. As a result, your employees or customers don't have access to the vital information they need, when they need it. You may also have to rely too heavily on paper for storing key documents. Most of all, inefficient content management negatively impacts your company's bottom line. If your departments work in silos, the enterprise's communications could be uncoordinated and conflicting; therefore, they are confusing to customers. The lack of access to timely and updated information limits your employees' productivity and increases customer dissatisfaction, ultimately costing you money.
