- Challenge the Status Quo: New Enterprise CMS Deployment Models(Wed, 28 Jul 2010 13:29:14 -0500)Document Management
The fact is that content more often than not crosses departmental boundaries and many business processes tend to have the same basic anatomy. However, research says that many organizations deploy Enterprise Content Management (ECM) systems primarily for search and retrieval, and often at the department level. Sure, this approach works for some cases. But by deploying Enterprise CMS software in this manner you aren’t realizing its full potential. A more optimal approach — according to ECM provider Laserfiche — is to deploy ECM as a Shared Service, integrating its capabilities with business processes, and supporting the needs of multiple divisions and/or departments at the same time. The company is digging into this very topic during an up-coming webinar. The goal is to cover: - How to make better use of limited IT resources — especially when many upcoming IT projects require one or more components of ECM functionality
- How to deploy three very different business processes from the same ECM foundation: case/customer management, contract management and HR onboarding
- How to move beyond control and flexibility to master the new ECM paradox
Of course, deploying your Enterprise Content Management system as a shared services will also have its challenges, and you need to understand these as well. For additional details, you can register now and tune-in on Thursday August 5th at 2pm Pacific / 5pm Eastern time. The event will cover the ECM+BMP shared services model and lead you through 3 practical examples.

- WEM: Three Important Benefits of Personas(Tue, 27 Jul 2010 13:35:59 -0500)Web Content
Next time you have a chance to watch someone reading a map, look for the first thing they do. They’ll likely do the exact same thing everyone else does: find themselves on the map. It doesn’t matter what kind of map it is, whether it’s of their neighborhood or an amusement park. They’ll open the map and find something that is personally meaningful, such as their house or their favorite roller coaster. Psychologists call this ‘grounding’—the natural behavior of initially finding a known reference point in a foreign information space. Once the person has grounded themselves, they can then use the starting point to understand the rest of the space. While grounding helps people adjust to complex situations, it can be detrimental when it happens during the design process. If, while conjuring up an interface, designers ground themselves in the design, they run the serious risk of creating an interface that only they can use.
