Abstract

IBM Workplace Web Content Management is a powerful and sophisticated Web content management product designed to accelerate development and delivery of critical business information. It enables "end-to-end" collaboration for content creation, approvals, management, retention, and publishing across Internet, intranet, extranet and portal assets. Despite its power, it is remarkably easy to use. It simply requires standard office skills to rapidly harness and optimize the flow of information.

Within this book, we provide a comprehensive approach to better understanding and utilizing Web Content Management. We address the specific technical aspects of IBM Workplace Web Content Management™ product, discussing its underlying architecture and features, recommending deployment scenarios, and providing detailed discussions on how to best use the product and take advantage of built in fetaures and its extensible API. To address the needs of a broad range of users, from those new to the product to those with much more experience, we first provide a basic tutorial on building a site, while also then building upon this foundation to explore advanced topics and opportunities for customization. In addition to discussing specific technical features, this book also discusses the key concepts and best practices for creating a accurate Information Architecture and site framework. Finally, this book addresses how to upgrade Web Content Management data from earlier versions of the product, as well as migrate data in from external web content management systems.
