DALLAS
STC’s Technical
Communication Summit
May 2010
"A
powerful, non-technological
view of content management..."
Pamela Kostur presented Content
Management
as a Practice to a packed room at STC Dallas.
In this presentation, Pamela examined content management as a
practice, focusing on content, users, business requirements, and
processes. Her message was very well received.
Session evaluations were overwhelmingly positive.
Here's a
sample of what attendees found:
Ms. Kostur's
presentation provided a powerful non-technological view of content
management, emphasizing the importance of the practice. This was a
refreshing change from the constant vendor onslaught to invest in
CMS.
Excellent information about the concepts of content
management. Great information about what a CMS tool should be able
to do. Good solid technology-agnostic content.
Ms. Kostur is entertaining and informative and really
seems to know her stuff. She's also passionate about the topic,
which came across clearly.
Very thorough; lots of good
information that I'll refer back to. Pamela is very knowledgeable
and did a good job of keeping it interesting. Excellent engagement
with audience, asking for our issues, concerns, and suggestions.
She presented good, useful information about managing content in
any environment, without using specific CMS technology, just using
common sense and good management techniques. I came away with
several ideas for improving my own processes for content management.
This was one of my favourite sessions. Pamela's delivery
and content were great. The subject matter also hit very close to
home. It was the perfect end to the day. I was so charged by it that
I had to call back to the office and tell my boss about the session.
Great presentation, content and discussion.
Bring her back
next year!
