Content management (CM) is a set of processes and technologies that supports the collection, managing, and publishing of information in any form or medium. When stored and accessed via computers, this information may be more specifically referred to as digital content, or simply as content.
Content management can also be described as the process for collection, delivery, retrieval, governance and overall management of information in any format. The term is typically used in reference to administration of the digital content life cycle, from creation to permanent storage or deletion. The content involved may be images, video, audio and multimedia as well as text.

Even if technology is providing the company with capabilities that it never had before, value is not realized before users start to embrase these capabilities – correctly – in regards to the job each individual is doing. People are generally not interested in any kind of change, unless the change will help them do their job better, faster or easier – and very importantly – they need to feel this themselves!
I made a presentation with the JBoye SharePoint 2010 community this week. The topic was Metadata and Content Types in SharePoint 2010. We talked about the vast set of functionality that depends on these things and the potential value of giving metadata management som focus.
The core of the talk went into some best practices for managing content types across midsized and large organizations.

So where does this leave us with implementing SharePoint?
Over the last few weeks we’ve enriched the functionalities of UDOCX and the interface displayed on the screen of the multifunctional devices in order to provide additional features to the “Scan to SharePoint” operation.
Different Ways to Make SharePoint Multilingual
1. SharePoint 2010 alone
Is SharePoint 2010 multilingual? Is SharePoint’s new language support enough for your needs? There are two distinct ways in which SharePoint can be partly multilingual without a third party product: you can either make most of the SharePoint 2010 user interface multilingual, or you make most of its content multilingual. Notice the “or” and the “most”. These can come back to bite you.

Read how the Microsoft Content Management Partner of the Year, KnowledgeLake addresses these concerns with Enterprise Content Management solutions for SharePoint:
Connect – Save electronic documents to SharePoint from any desktop application. Connect enables users to save content on an ad-hoc basis – such as Office documents, PDF files and email messages in a single step. Improve user adoption and empower everyone in the organization to be content contributors.
One problem that we hear about from customers when we talk about document conversion to PDF in SharePoint is the inability to merge multiple documents into a single PDF file.
There are a lot of uses for document assembly, the most common being the creation of proposals for RFPs (Requests for Proposals), and Meeting Books for Boards or Trustees.
Creating a single, cohesive PDF file from a collection of documents in different formats such as Microsoft Word, financial information in Excel, engineering data in AutoCAD DWG format, PowerPoint presentations, etc., produces a more professional looking result, and makes it much more efficient for the reader to use this information. The merged PDF file can be made much easier for users to navigate through its contents with the addition of a table of contents and PDF bookmarks for the entire document, and an index of terms used along with a hyperlink to the exact location
