The Ever-Growing Challenge of Managing Web Site Content


Noah Maffitt, Director, E-Commerce, Office Depot

Customers expect a lot from a web site and retailers want to deliver a lot. But that dynamic increases the amount of content on a site and the challenges of managing all that content. In addition, multi-channel retailers increasingly understand that content created for one channel should be easily accessible for use in another channel—product images, for instance, that are usable online and in a catalog. Our speaker is Director of E-Commerce at Office Depot, the third largest online retailer. He will explore the challenges that retailers face as they provide ever greater amounts of products and information on their web sites, the ways in which retailers can effectively and efficiently manage lots of content, how they acquire the content and make it usable for a web site and other applications, the options available in content management and the kinds of staffers that retailers must hire to make the most sense of content management.
