SharePoint Whitepaper: Web Content Management (4.0 MB / DOCX / 21 pages)
Over the last few decades, Web technologies have dramatically changed the way that companies conduct business with their customers, partners, and employees.
What began as a static store for public information has become a dynamic, evolving environment for managing customer relationships, collaborating with partners, and communicating with employees.
Because of the explosive growth of online channels, companies are struggling to manage Web sites and applications, especially in terms of managing content targeted for different audiences in a global environment.
