Component Content Management System Foundations

Getting to know Component Content Management Systems and their place in your organization.

Join Paul Perrotta, The Technical Communication Wrangler, and John Baker, Content Marketing Manager at Heretto for this free webinar that looks at key aspects that define what a Component Content Management System (CCMS) is, what they can do, and whether they’re right for your business.

Most people are familiar with Content Management Systems (CMS), but a CCMS has some distinct differences that make it unique in the content world. As CCMSs have become more widely relevant in content and documentation, establishing a foundational knowledge is important for organizations to weigh it as an option.

You’ve forayed into structured content with DITA, but it’s a whole new world of content development and management. A CCMS is there to help make sure your content isn’t just sitting there in a heap. Good content structure is hardly possible without good content management.

About the Presentation

So, you’ve started writing structured content with DITA. You’re getting the hang of it and learning how to build content in this new, exciting way, and are fully aware of its vast potential. It’s still different and isn’t like managing content that you’ve previously had to keep tabs on.

When your structured content is build in components, it must be managed that way, too. This is where a Component Content Management System (CCMS) is a valuable ally. This webinar will explore Component Content Management Systems and will unpack a few questions:

What is a CCMS?
How is a CCMS unique?
Does your organization really need one?
What criteria should your organization consider when selecting one?

If you’re wondering whether a CCMS is right for your organization, but aren’t sure where to start, the CCMS Foundations webinar is the perfect place for you to find your footing. We hope to see you there!
