Some Other Inconvenient Truths

Thursday, November 9^th, 11.00

Category: Intermediate

Track: Strategy

Many different content technologies - enterprise portals, content management systems, search, electronic records management - have been with us for more than a decade, prompting the trade press and major analyst firms alike to call these "mature" and "consolidating" market segments. In fact, buyers and consultants are still figuring out how to obtain the value they expected from the panoply of still immature tools and nascent (and sometimes competing) methodologies.

The consequences are nothing but the usual:

• Budget overruns
• Frustrated colleagues
• Missed deadlines
• Project failure
• Unexpected results

Does this sound familiar? Do you want a change?

Join analysts Tony Byrne and Janus Boye for a discussion on how to achieve a greater likelihood of success in your technology project by considering some inconvenient truths about the technology and how it gets implemented.

Highlights from the recently released CMS Report, 10^th edition, and the Enterprise Portals Report, 2^nd edition will be shared in this entertaining and provocative session.
