Learn about how overcoming content strategy silos can impact your brand and revenues. This presentation will look at how trends in modern purchasing habits and content consumption are driving more holistic content strategies. Today's content must be more agile, and there is more pressure for portable, multi-purpose content assets. The case study portion will look at a manufacturer of medical devices that developed a global CS to bring benefits to both brand equity and bottom line. In it, users are able to access and contribute to content from any device or platform, and build up their own content stories from reusable modules, deliverable to any format. This case study is also contained in Ann Rockley's new book: Managing Enterprise Content - An Unified Content Strategy.

- 20. Cloud computing - SaaS Cloud computing is the delivery of computing as a service rather than a product ... shared resources, software, and information are provided to computers and other devices as a utility (like the electricity grid) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing @nozurbina #CSA12
- 21. CaaS: Content as a Service ~ Content can be conceived of and delivered as a service (CaaS) – Content gets encapsulated in deliverables – Each deliverable is one view for one context, at one time. ~ One issue or update of a “Journal”, “Microsite”, “Magazine”, etc.. ~ Need to move away from project/deadline/campaign focus to repeatable, holistic CS @nozurbina #CSA12
- 22. CaaS requires ~ Metadata-rich content, cross-silo terms/taxonomy ~ Format neutral, not proprietary content (DITA, XML) ~ Repository of reusable, structured content modules ~ Repository/Delivery platforms that support content queries via metadata ~ Ability to re-cast content for a new context to create new value (Content Curation) ~ Metric and analytics reporting – To help you decide what to reuse and pipe where @nozurbina #CSA12
- 23. Content curation and reuse ~ Content curation is reusing content for new aims ~ Sometimes it can be automated, sometimes can be hand-curated ~ If your content is intelligent, you can use existing assets to tell new stories, anywhere @nozurbina #CSA12
- 24. Content curation issues ~ Is it modular? (References to old context, links, etc.) ~ Metadata - Is it findable by the appropriate metadata in the new context? ~ Is it still current/accurate at the point of reuse? ~ Is it editorially, stylistically, etc. appropriate in its new reuse context? @nozurbina #CSA12

Initial Returns - 2011 • “Our research showed that organizations that move to [a DITA-XML-based system] can reduce translation costs by 30% to 50%. • Our own examples showed 40% to 75% savings. • Over the next few years, we anticipate savings in the region of £193.49k, £425.68k, £468.25k, and £515.07k, which is an average saving of £400k per year. • Note that this ROI assumes all content is in XML, which is not the case just yet.” @nozurbina #CSA12

- 39. Map ~ XML standard for stitching bits back together – Defines a complete, but presentation-agnostic, content story ~ Components ~ Hierarchy ~ Linking/Navigation ~ Medatata ~ Many maps can share components – HTML, PDF, media, XML ~ Specifically DITA XML @nozurbina #CSA12
