Content Management
Xyleme-Documentum integration creates single source environment for
Informa’s print-based learning, e-learning
and knowledge portals
BOULDER, Colo. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) July 30, 2008 --
Xyleme® Inc., the leading provider of 100%
XML, SCORM 2004 certified learning content management solutions
announced today that Informa plc has selected Xyleme LCMS, for single
source content development and multi-channel publishing of training
content in several of its performance improvement companies. The
recently completed proof-of-concept phase saw successful integration
with Documentum eRoom and digital asset management technologies
resulting in single, seamless environment for collaboration, storage and
advanced reusability across products, brands and business units.
As the provider of 2,500 subscription-based products, 45,000 books,
12,000 events and the parent of several well-known performance
improvement companies, Informa needed to remedy production delays and
quality issues encountered when trying to deliver localized training and
customized courses to their global clients. The company selected Xyleme
LCMS to create granular XML based-content and repurpose it based on the
unique requirements and variables of each of their brands. Informa will
also use Xyleme LCMS to simultaneously publish this content as lesson
plans, student guides, e-learning, synchronized PowerPoint and other
formats.
“One of the most significant contributions of
the new system is the movement toward non-linear product development,”
commented Bob Hecht, Vice President of Content Strategies at Informa. “Xyleme
LCMS enables us to independently create and review course sections, mix
and match modules for easy customization and publish courses on-demand
worldwide, significantly decreasing our overall product development time.”
“We are seeing a fundamental shift in the
market towards an integrated learning and enterprise content management
strategy,” stated Mark Hellinger, President
and CEO of Xyleme. “Global industry leaders
like Informa recognize the need to eliminate these training silos so
that valuable learning content may be better leveraged and more
efficiently managed across the entire enterprise.”
