Learn from the foremost experts to save money and mitigate technology risks.

Choosing the right web content management system (CMS) is vital. Spend a day with James Robertson, one of the foremost experts on CMS, to obtain the knowledge and techniques you need to maximise outcomes, reduce costs and mitigate risks.

CMS have become vital for both websites and intranets, but it’s a complex marketplace with over 140+ products available in Australia alone (we maintain a list ). These products vary greatly in price, performance, design and architecture.

Workshop agenda

Topics covered during the day include:

Core CMS functionality
The Australian CMS marketplace
Project planning methodologies
Determining project scope
Developing effective requirements: creating a tender that works
Avoiding common problems and pitfalls

Learn how to create a tender that is less than 20 pages in length, that contains all the information needed to find the right solution (and to eliminate the rest!). Best of all, the tender will be human-readable, free of jargon and complex technical details.

Get the full benefits

There will be no sleeping during this workshop! There is a maximum of 8 participants, to allow time to be targeted to individual needs. The goal is to provide practical approaches to help you select the CMS that best fits your needs.
