11th/MayDon’t forget our The Reference Academy in Ghent!

By Sigrid // 16u12 // category: Events, News

Content Management for International Accounts

The Reference and Emakina announced a new Academy: Content Management for International Accounts.

Now that web content is at the heart of the relationship between a brand and its consumers, selecting and implementing the right Content Management System (CMS) has become a key issue for international companies.

Today, most companies face up to the “nightmare of complexity”. Their websites have thousands of pages, content in multiple languages, a range of different workflows, multimedia content,… The famous principle ‘think globally, act locally’ has become incredibly challenging in the Age of the World Wide Web.

During the Academy we will focus on:

  • What the most important criteria are when selecting a new CMS.
  • What the most cost-efficient solutions are to cut costs, increase your productivity and reflect a coherent brand identity at every level of your organization.
  • How some of our large accounts tackled the issues of international deployments and managed to turn their website into a business generator.

The Academy will take place on 27/05 in Ghent. You can attend the Emakina/The Reference Academy for free. Click here to subscribe!
