Webcast News & Articles

It’s safe to say, that many publishers don’t know exactly what going digital entails. O’Reilly comes to the rescue by offering a free Webcast on Wednesday, November 12, at 1 p.m. EDT about What Publishers Need to Know About Digitization.

The Webcast will last approximately 90 minutes. You can register here.

Consultant and software engineer for the publishing industry, Liza Daly, will lead the Webcast. As an independent consultant and the founder of Threepress, developer of the Bookworm EPUB e-reading application, blogger for several publishing and technology blogs, and a member of the advisory boards for the Web 2.0 Expo NYC 2008 and O’Reilly Tools of Change (TOC) 2009 conferences, Daly will aim to offer guidance and support for those in the industry struggling to go digital.

The Webcast assumes no prior experience with digitization, as Daly presents a “friendly and accessible overview of the conversion process”. The Webcast will cover the following topics:

• What’s XML and do you need it?
• What’s the cost-benefit analysis versus PDF or other formats?
• What to look for in selecting a vendor and how to watch out for hidden costs.

In addition, the Webcast will tackle issues of control and lock-in versus cost savings, partnering with Google, Amazon, or a centralized platform, or going on your own — among many other topics.

The Webcast is a component of O’Reilly’s Tools of Change (TOC) for Publishing division, which seeks to connect the people, companies and organizations asking and answering the questions that will define the future of publishing.

Following Percussion’s recent repositioning of their Web content management solution the company will be holding an open-for-all webcast during which they’ll lift the covers, open the kimono and poke around in the (safe for non-geek) guts of their Rhythmyx Web CMS / WebTrends Analytics integration.

The event, entitled Drive Your Marketing Effectiveness with Tight Integration of Web Content Management & Analytics, is tailored primarily for business folk who are tasked with the success of online marketing efforts.

• When: Thursday, November 1st @ 11:00am EDT / 17:00 GMT
• Where: Um, your nearest web browser

Registration is required (of course), and happens here.

How does one organization manage the business development, content-building and IT challenges associated with managing multiple Web properties without falling flat on its face in a pool of lawsuits and unnecessary expenses?

There isn’t really an easy answer, but it helps to get guidance from eagle-eye analysts and organizations who’ve been there and succeeded. The Gilbane Group and Oracle join forces to bring forth Multiple Web Sites: Driving You Crazy, or Driving Your Business?, a webcast for addressing business challenges in deploying and managing multiple websites.

Given that electronic records management practices are still not up to par, perhaps now is the right time to dust off the holiday cheer from your new dual monitor rig and tune into the latest compliance webcast from Mobius Management Systems.
