Content Management Matters ™

Lisa Welchman's keynote speech on Web 2.0 and Web Operations Management was one of the top five sessions of Web Content 2008 (according to evaluation forms). Her message was simple, yet profound: you can’t do anything cool on the Web if you lack mature Web Operations Management practices.

Everyone's favorite self-proclaimed world leader in Enterprise CMS and information infrastructure, EMC Corp, just announced the EMC Rainfinity File Management Appliance (FMA). The new offering aims to provide lower storage costs and automated archiving and compliance policies across server and network attached storage (NAS) environments. And with a name like Rainfinity, how it could it possibly fail?

In order to help customers better manage their electronically stored information while also meeting internal and external governance requirements, EMC has delivered new versions of both their email and file system archiving solutions.

Everybody likes having a good laugh at a silly mistake. But sometimes little flubs can be costly, especially when they're common practice.

Because of its casual nature and ease of use, e-mail has come to play a major role in business relations and enterprise development. It's also an inadvertent medium for plenty of extra-office faux-pas between clients.

After five years in review, the Supreme Court amended a series of federal rules surrounding civil litigation. Included among these are an elaboration of existing rules regarding electronic discovery. Discovery is the process by which both sides of a litigation provide supporting evidence in a trial.

The changes have gone into effect as of December 1st and they require companies to keep track of employee e-mail, instant messages and other documents or communication delivered through or stored via the Internet. The industry impact is not subtle and Enterprise CMS vendors are responding quickly.
