Content.gov 2015 Recap: Taking Back Control Over Content

Content.gov 2015 brought together industry experts, IT leadership and developers with extensive implementation experience who gathered to exchange ideas and explore best practices on managing content and documents digitally. Attendees learned from experts with extensive practical experience garnered from large real-world enterprise content management implemented into the public sector.

“Document management done well can bring order to an increasing volume of electronic documents, help organizations meet legal and regulatory compliance requirements, and reduce paper documentation.” Apoorv Durga, Analyst, Real Story Group.

This event showcased the undeniable growth of content and how new opportunities can emerge, especially in the public sector. One example illustrating this is the large growing number of content, documents and processes moving online. The government has the perfect opportunity now to build a better work environment through a modern, user-friendly and collaborative multi-channel application that allows for faster, convenient access to the growing volume of content. This approach will enable the public sector to become more effective and efficient, in organizing, securing, processing, and locating all of their content.

Each year Alfresco’s Content.gov conference attracts leading vendors in the enterprise content management space.  CrafterCMS sponsored the event to share our expert knowledge on Web Content Management solutions, and to demo CrafterCMS – our modern award-winning Web CMS platform that allows organizations to build and manage rich online experiences on the web, mobile, social, and all digital online channels.
