Video, as every marketer knows, can capture eyeballs and the wallets that come with them. Sitecore understands this and has taken the route of integration with Brightcove to help marketers take their customer experience strategies to the richest media level.

Cloud content services provider Brightcove is easing the process of adding video to content management workflows with new prebuilt integrations between its Video Cloud platform and nine leading Web CMS tools: Adobe CQ5, Agility, Atex Polopoly, Drupal, Ektron, Microsoft Sharepoint 2010, PaperThin CommonSpot, Sitecore, and WordPress.

Marketing and Web design just got a bit simpler for Sitecore users as the company released a new Adobe InDesign plug-in that pulls content into the design program right from the Sitecore Web CMS itself.  

Sitecore-based websites can now build in the Telligent Community social platform in order to condense more marketing, social and customer service features in one place. Telligent Connect adds new tools to Sitecore websites that should allow for smoother customer interactions and easier communication between Web Content Management, marketing and IT teams.

The best content management software in the world cannot save you from an implementation disaster. 

Successful CMS projects achieve their goals as a factor of the implementation, deployment and change management processes as much as they do by way of the quality and features of the software being deployed. Some might even argue that deployment factors are more important than the software itself.

During the talk you'll learn about:

• Best practices for creating a full-proof migration strategy
• What to do at the beginning to ensure happy web authors when the process is finished

• How much reliance on automation is too much when transferring your data
• ...and much more

Countless industry studies have been published confirming something many of us already know -- content volume and diversity are increasing rapidly in organizations of all sizes. This rapid expansion along all dimensions is driving enterprises to adopt content management solutions to gain better control and visibility of their information.
