Publishing organizations have long recognized the value of migrating content to XML to
attain the benefits of content reuse, reduced localization costs, and single-source publishing.
But, many of these organizations have never been able to justify the high cost and long
implementation cycles required to install an in-house XML content management solution.

Recently, a new alternative has emerged—the "Software as a Service (SaaS)" model, which
offers a hosted XML content management environment on a subscription basis. According
to leading research firm InfoTrends, over 40% of their survey respondents would either “prefer”
or “definitely consider” a hosted content management solution.

This session will highlight the following topics:
• Critical successful factors for evaluating XML content management solutions
• Comparison of the differences between a traditional "in-house" purchased CMS business model
   vs. a "Software as a Service" subscription-based business model
• Cross-industry case studies of successful hosted XML CMS production environments
