Organizations are using Perforce to version everything from software code to business documents
Alameda, Calif, April 17, 2012 - A recent survey by Perforce Software found that version management is used across the enterprise to manage content well beyond software code. The survey of more than 1,200 Perforce users at more than 900 companies worldwide shows that Perforce enterprise version management software is used within many departments - including operations, sales, marketing, finance, human resources, and legal - and to manage a variety of digital assets, including business documents, multimedia files, images and web content.
“The need to better collaborate on digital assets isn’t unique to software development,” said Nigel Chanter, chief operating officer at Perforce Software. “In fact, versioning issues are far reaching and can sap productivity from any department or team. This survey validates what we’ve learned from discussions with our customers and partners, that robust version control capabilities benefit almost any professional working on any type of shared file.”

"People say that failure is important because it teaches you. I think that you can learn more from success. You learn what works as opposed to what doesn’t work. As no success is perfect, you still learn from the effort and improve from there.
That ability to learn is how you become a successful CMS professional."

Smartlogic-sponsored Industry Information Index shows technology and media firms poorest at finding and using content, but all sectors get failing grade
Organizations operating in the sectors that rely most heavily on enterprise information are among the worst at enabling access to internal content and utilizing it, according to the Industry Information Index, a new benchmarking study from Content Intelligence company Smartlogic and MindMetre Research. Overall, the Index demonstrates that information efficiency in every sector is fundamentally unsatisfactory, with no industry scoring more than 50% – that is, fewer than half the organizations surveyed rated their sector as capable across four categories of effectiveness. The total score for all sectors was 38%.
Media & Publishing placed at the bottom of the Index table with only 30% of respondents from this sector finding its efficiency to be satisfactory, putting it just below High-tech & IT and Aerospace. Information & Research, Banking, Property & Construction, and Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals also were in the lower half of the Index table.
2012 may indeed be the “Year of Web Content.” Actually, so was 2011, 2010, 2009… But this article on the Forbes Marketwatch blog describes how some big brands are attacking content marketing and content curation to help fulfill their brand promise.
Amongst content management insiders, there has been an ongoing acronym war over what the technology systems should be called that help companies manage their content online -- which quite frankly, end users care very little about.
At the end of the day, the companies mentioned in the Forbes article, and countless others, want to use content to engage with their customers and prospects to drive their business goals. And they want their content technologies to help them achieve those goals, not get in the way--regardless of what it’s called.
However there’s a growing disconnect between what’s expected and what’s actually being delivered when it comes to implementing those content systems and the associated costs. Increasingly, companies are questioning what capabilities (or lack of) they’re receiving from their web content systems investments. As well as, what additional costs of services they’ll need to incur to support, maintain and upgrade what becomes a very complex, highly customized system.
According to a post by The Real Story Group this past spring, web content management system implementation costs have risen to 7-8 times the cost of software licensing. Perhaps most galling to buyers, the increased ratios are simply stipulated as a fact that buyers should just prepare for. We have heard some form of the following countless times:
Systems are becoming more complex, and to deploy complex systems, it takes time, and your services dollars, and that’s ok.
Contensis continues its innovation in content management systems with the launch of the latest version of its market-leading web CMS. R7.1 is the very latest release of the Contensis Enterprise CMS and the first using its new release schedule that sees a new version every 4 months.
