Web Content Management
Web Content Management Consulting drives many Siteworx engagements. Because WCM is a core building block of an effective web presence, it’s essentially the engine that drives many of the most important elements of a successful website. When considering WCM consulting services, it helps to start with a clear idea of how WCM fits into your business.
Why Web Content Management (WCM) Matters to Your Business
If you’re considering a WCM solution, it helps to define your business and communications goals—and your required WCM features—around a common set of objectives.
Key WCM Capabilities to Consider
- Customer Experience — Does your WCM help you ensure a holistic approach to understanding customers’ needs and how they are served through the online channel? Most advanced WCM solutions incorporate some level of analytics which you can use to supplement and enhance third-party analytics tools.
- Contextual — Most advanced WCM solutions also provide the ability to apply explicit and implicit personalization based on user profile data or website behavior.
- Consistent — Particularly for companies and organizations that support multiple websites that must be centrally managed, your WCM solution will enable your content and business owners to maintain consistent brand elements across all sites and channels; i.e., Web, mobile, email, print.
- Community — Your WCM should enable integrated and easy access to user engagement tools such as polls, threaded discussions, access to social networks like Facebook and Twitter, etc.
