Choosing and Using Content Management Systems
This evening seminar will look at the role of content management systems in the cross-platform production process, and examine how content-management issues affect independent production companies and interactive producers.Many broadcasters have invested heavily in sophisticated content management systems, spanning every aspect of their operations. Such systems are designed to streamline and automate many of the processes involved in digital media production, but they can be expensive to implement.
This event concentrates on the needs of those working at the smaller end of the scale — independent producers who require affordable, adaptable content management applications and production intranets that facilitate the simultaneous production of content for a range of media.
- The seminar will begin with an introductory overview, defining what content management systems are, and explaining how they work in practice.
- Anthony Lilley, MD of Magic Lantern, will demonstrate his company's content management tool, ResearchSpace, and describe the development of the application.
- Tim Ball from Flashback will describe what is was like to use ResearchSpace.
- James Ramsay of Channel Health will then discuss his experience of using a content management system on a number of cross-platform media projects.
- The seminar is followd by a chaired panel discussion and questions from the audience.
- The evening culminates in an extended drinks reception and networking session, sponsored by Movie Magic Web.
