Discussion group: Web platforms and content management systems: opportunities to exploit developments from the media sector?
Stephen Cave, Director, Abacus e-Media

In addition to working with the public sector, Abacus e-Media is the market leading provider of content management systems to UK business to business publishing companies. These include United Business Media, EMAP, Macmillan and Thomson Reuters. A core theme – particularly at the moment – amongst media owners is how the platform can provide maximum flexibility to allow them to make speedy changes to their websites without incurring development costs. This round table discussion will look at how the public sector can capitalise on and exploit the flexibilities demanded by the media sector, what benefits could be achieved and how these changes can be realised at minimum cost.
