Content-Management Solutions
Without fresh, meaningful content, a Web site is an empty promise, and
information management is a dead end. WASSER develops and implements custom
content-management systems, content-workflow models, and management
processes. We can increase your leveragability, maximize your reuse, or
power your Web presence by using easy-to-use content-publishing systems.
Content-Management Solutions
As content-management tools become available in more organizations,
efficient management of growing demands becomes a greater challenge.
Simultaneously, insufficient planning and limited previous experience often
lead to diminished return from content-management projects, or even to their
failure. WASSER has helped clients successfully implement and convert to
content-management systems (CMSs). We do more than install the software and
build a template: We make it work.
Needs Assessment
However you manage your content, it’s only as useful, efficient, and
effective as the process that defined it. WASSER can help define, gather,
and document your business requirements by developing process-flow charts
and descriptions that will ensure that you have considered and addressed the
needs of your entire organization and audience.
Project Management
Our experienced project managers work with your team to define functional
requirements, implement the system, and establish processes to track and
measure performance. Your team will be able to turn its attention elsewhere,
while always having visibility into the process that we follow.
Single-Sourcing
Using a structured writing process, we model existing content into
manageable chunks for use in your content-management system. This approach
means that you can leverage content across media, maximize reuse of existing
content, and reduce development and translation costs.
Taxonomy Development
We can design taxonomy to support the retrieval and dynamic publishing of
content from your CMS repository. This step is critical for ensuring that
your information is not lost within your repository.
Content Classification
WASSER professionals can quickly and meticulously sort through large
batches of content and identify the constituent parts. They then classify
your existing content, so that it will support the design goals of the
CMS—eliminating unnecessary rewriting.
Data Conversion
Converting legacy content can be a daunting task. We can convert your
existing documents into the required formats, including any necessary
workflow planning and preprocessing. We automate the process for efficiency
and manage it for quality.
Template Development
A good template can help you publish your content correctly the first
time, which saves you time and money. We’ve created templates for both Web
and print, English-language and localized files, and every variety of
customer. The results are consistency, ease, and a seamless publishing
process.
Process Workflow
We can help you define processes for the demanding detail work that comes
with managing content—whether it’s on a time-based or event-based cycle. We
identify pain points in the current state of the process and agree upon the
business objectives for a redesigned workflow. As a result, we streamline
each publishing cycle—eliminating unnecessary costs and saving you time.
