Microcontent supports emerging technologies including chatbots and conversational user interfaces. One of the keys to intelligent microcontent is the ability to model content for the intended reader response. DITA goes a long way to modeling for intent, but finer-grained semantics are needed to take us the rest of the way.

Join Scott Abel, The Content Wrangler, and his special guest, Rob Hanna, Chief Information Architect with Precision Content Authoring Services for this free one-hour webinar. This technical session explores the key semantic structures developed by Precision Content to create, manage, and publish with microcontent to both traditional and emerging channels for delivery.

Participants will learn how to architect:

• typed blocks from DITA sections
• process- and principle-type structures, and
• sub-structures for modeling specific intents.

About Rob Hanna

Rob Hanna co-founded Precision Content in 2013 to change the way writers approach structured authoring. Having spent more than a decade helping organizations move to component content management he realized that most organizations need to take a step beyond technology and expert consultants. Without fostering the necessary standards and skills to work in this new media, organizations would continue to stall in their attempt to move to advanced information creation and management techniques, like structured authoring. With this knowledge, he developed the Precision Content® methods, tools, and training. Today, Rob and his team of experts help Precision Content clients make the move to structured authoring as seamless as possible.

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), GDPR and other mandates are a wake-up call to take a fresh look at data protection for personal information. As the scope of sensitive data and user rights requirements have evolved, this includes industries with significant experience managing legacy mandates such as PCI DSS or HIPAA.

AmerisourceBergen is no stranger to industry mandates like HIPAA and HITECH, but is now preparing for a future where the number and impact of healthcare data breaches continues to increase, even as user transparency demands expanded controls. However, there is a silver lining as data privacy controls can also help accelerate digital transformation and enable safe value creation. In this webinar, you’ll learn how AmerisourceBergen approaches making information safe with world-class data masking techniques as a critical component of their privacy journey, and how Informatica is helping deliver data privacy governance solutions for the next-generation Data 3.0 evolution.

New data privacy laws continue to roll out worldwide. Browsers are doubling down on user-tracking behaviors. And with GDPR-esque laws coming to the U.S. — including the CCPA — companies need to provide a standard of consumer privacy.

What most brands don’t realize, though, is these data privacy measures offer an opportunity to build trust with their customers and garner greater customer loyalty. Consumers expect to give up data — if they get something in return.

A CDP with identity resolution functionality can help you unify and activate customer data on their terms. Be prepared to take advantage of new data privacy laws by joining our webinar.

For successful analytics & AI initiatives, your cloud data warehouses and cloud data lakes must work together in a cohesive data management architecture. There is no one-size-fits-all solution for data management architecture. Every data warehouse is unique; thus, every modernization plan is unique. There are, however, several architectural patterns for modernization that help to shift from data warehouse and data lake silos to cohesion and compatibility between data lakes and data warehouses.

Use these patterns individually, in combination, or as mix-and-match for multiple warehouses to develop a modernization plan and drive your analytics and AI projects:
• Data Warehousing Outside the Data Lake
• Data Warehousing Inside the Data Lake
• Data Warehousing in Front of the Data Lake
• Data Warehousing Inside & Outside the Data Lake

Personal data privacy is top of mind with massive data breaches in the news, along with new US privacy legislation taking effect. As high-profile regulation for the world’s fifth largest economy, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) starts enforcement on January 1, 2020. But how does the CCPA impact US organizations, their customers and ordinary California citizens, as well as other US States keeping a close eye with their own new rules? Unlike prior legislation that started with breach notifications, the CCPA now raises the stakes with data protection requirements and new user rights for transparency into how sensitive data is handled. Are you prepared for the CCPA?

Watch this webinar with Joe Bracken, Informatica’s VP and Deputy General Counsel, Privacy, Products and Intellectual Property, as he answers 20 common questions that businesses and consumers alike should be asking about how the CCPA will impact them. Insights into the CCPA can help you on your journey with a data privacy governance approach to new compliance obligations and consumer rights about to take effect!

From clicks to calls, companies have a ton of customer data. Managing that data is a key business challenge, which is why so many companies are turning to Customer Data Platforms. As more vendors crowd into the CDP space, there are two clear CDP styles emerging: data-focused and campaign.

Before choosing a CDP, it’s critical to put a customer data strategy in place first that aligns with one of these CDP styles. The strategies and CDP you choose will have a huge impact on your team’s day-to-day operations, your customer’s experience, and your ability to manage a real-time, compliant customer data supply chain.

In this session, you’ll learn the key differences between data-focused and campaign-focused CDPs, as well as:

- Why your CDP strategy should be a company-wide initiative, not just marketing-driven
- How a CDP will help you overcome the challenges of collecting and activating customer data
- Why a CDP initiative is a perfect opportunity to bridge the divide between marketing and IT teams

This is the second webinar in the three-part Data Governance series.  At the heart of a successful Enterprise Data Governance program are people. Some are technical. Some are not. Some are located in the lines of business while others work in IT. Some have a particular view on data policies. Others are likely to disagree. No enterprise data governance program is perfect but in order to scale and be truly enterprise-wide, silos need to be broken.

This is a great webinar for anyone dealing with silos that are holding back an enterprise data governance program. In this webinar, we will showcase how others have overcome these challenges and will share some best practices.

Transformations are hard. According to a McKinsey study, only 26% of executives surveyed consider their transformation programs were successful. The success rate is 17-19% for companies with employee size of 5000+.

Planning for success is thinking beyond stakeholder's value. The Business Roundtable's recent announcement is a paradigm shift from "shareholders" to "all stakeholders".

With the future driven by digital and experience, companies must think thru 6 dimensions to improve their chances of success. This webinar talks thru the 6 dimensions and what each dimension entails for companies to align with the Business Roundtable pronouncement.

Having a great concept and plan for producing a video project is only the beginning. With any rich media project, thinking through the objective and audience from the beginning is key to getting ROI. Equal emphasis should be placed on the eyes for the project as the project itself. The goals of the project must be specific and defined, with distribution and production following this.

In this session, Simon Gerzina and Jeff Kunken from BrightTALK will discuss how to take a holistic approach to planning your video projects with an emphasis on the distribution strategy to achieve better results and greater ROI. You will also hear from marketers on how their KPIs and goals directly shape webinar and video strategy.
