Topic: Building Content Management Systems with Zope
Speakers: Jim Fulton, Zope Corporation
==============================
Presentation Abstract:
Web sites are growing increasingly sophisticated and dynamic.
Businesses need new ways to brand and engage customers, on larger and
larger scales. Managing the daily flow of content to support these
goals has become an expensive, brittle proposition. Content-management
systems automate content-management processes.
Content-management processes vary by organization and the
content-management systems that automate these processes need to be
highly customized. This is why one-size-fits-all solutions are often
ineffective and why the largest source of content-management software
is in-house development.
The Zope Content-Management Framework is a framework and toolkit for
building custom content-management systems. Because it is a framework
and because it is open source, it allows organizations to build the
system right for them without starting from scratch or being dependent
on a single vendor.
This talk will provide an overview of business issues affecting
content-management system decisions and of the capabilities and
application of the Zope Content-Management Framework.
==============================
