Getting it Right: Building Content Services that Succeed in Transforming
Markets

Publishers are facing a world that blends content and technology services
together with contributions from individuals and institutions into powerful
new contexts that are changing how their markets use and pay for their
products and services. These changes are forcing content companies to change
their ideas of how to make money in publishing faster than ever before: 

• Where will the major publishing houses make more money - from technology
integration, user communities, media channels or licensing? 
• Are content technology companies becoming more powerful agents for
creating publishing value than publishers themselves? 
• Are users empowered to create, collect, organize and distribute content in
individual and collaborative environments creating the most valuable content
and context of all time? 
• Are media companies that are trying to create more value for their
audiences through enhanced data and community services becoming major
competitors to enterprise-oriented publishers and content services
companies?
• What’s the most effective electronic content packaging for balancing
control and user-driven distribution? 
• How are value-add products and services creating a whole new definition
for what it means to be a publisher today?

Join the leaders in the publishing industry who wrestle with these issues
and collaborate with them on insights that will drive your business plans
forward and your business relationships into profitable new directions.
