Enterprise Content Management
Track Chairs: William Trippe, President, New Millennium Publishing and Assoicate Editor, The Gilbane Report

Does your back-end know what your front-end is doing? XML has been bandied about as the panacea for just about every web effort that organizations are undertaking. Content management is no exception. AIIM International presents a full-day educational program that will help you understand the real role XML can play in ECM (Enterprise Content Management). Topics will include what enterprise content management is, how both new and legacy data and document integration can be handled, what kinds of architectural approaches make sense for different types of content management business needs, and what the IT infrastructure ramifications are. These are some of the major challenges that must be addressed in order to use XML effectively. The program will be filled with "real world" advice, examples and actual case studies.
