W3C, WCAG, Section 508, Double-A, XHTML Strict, Dublin Core, EDRM, ISO 9000… if you have a role in managing compliance within your organization – particularly as it relates to delivery of web content for internal or public consumption – chances are high that at least some of these terms are familiar to you. As argued in recent Vamosa blog posts from Moayyed Darugar and Paul Henderson, companies have a legal or ethical obligation to maintain compliance with some accepted standards, which all basically boil down to making sure the right information is disclosed and making sure that disclosed information is accessible. The software tools marketplace abounds with point solutions addressing compliance issues in each of these categories. But in addition to the universal standards, it’s likely that your organization has its own policies and protocols with their own set of motivations. What is your technology doing to address these?
It’s quite likely that your organization has many guidelines and procedures for managing your web and document content which are not reinforced by the technologies used to do that management. If you do have tools in place to address these focused objectives, it’s likely that they are integrated clumsily into your CMS or disjointed entirely… a cobblestone of macros. Even worse, some of the bricks in your road to compliance may be feature-rich applications from which you only need one or two functions; expensive bricks indeed! Taking a blue-sky view of the problem, it should be evident that the way to effectively manage your content’s compliance to both good-corporate-citizen standards and company-specific policies is to do so from a unified console giving you a view of exactly the policies you want to manage, and only those.
In the enterprise, there’s no such thing as a technology problem. There are only business problems to be solved with technology. This means that for a technical solution to be viable, its design, deployment, and usage must be fully aligned with the business issue it addresses. Producing this kind of solution is virtually impossible for a traditional software manufacturer: a precisely targeted solution limits the market, and a generic solution is bloatware that no one wants. Building a tailor made solution, based on a standard software platform however, is exactly what has established Vamosa as a leader in Enterprise Content Governance. By offering a rules-based engine, Vamosa allows organizations to build robust, custom solutions to govern compliance to their specific standards, with help on hand from the Vamosa Expert Services Team.
Whether you’re suffering blemishes on your corporate façade or fissures in the foundation of your business Vamosa offers a flexible solution.
