Re: UKNM: who's updating what and how ??

[richard evans]

Indeed content management is a burning issue, both with agencies and

clients. We have built numerous content management systems for a number of

varying clients but the burning issue still ramains, as pointed out by

leslie, resource?? We still find that some clients (even the bigger ones)

still do not have the resource and the machines to successfully manage

their  own content, even though they want to. Its amazing how many larger

clients still do not have a browser on every desk, you still find the

knackered old PC in the corner of the office running netscape 2.


Having said that though, the ammount of agencies still updating press

releases is also amazing especially when we all know that you can write a

bit of perl (that runs in netscape 2) to allow the client to do it and then

sell that to many clients.


I f you can get over the issue of hardware with a clients then surely a

well designed UI for publishing content through a browser is the answer to

mr  marketing manager being ill ( pulling a sicky with a hangover!). two or

three people are easily trained to use a very simple, well designed tool,

so unless they were all out drinking together, issue solved.. leaving the

agency to get on with what they are good at and relieving the poor junior

at the agency who has 20 press releases a week to update.
