ContentDepot Users Summit Summary

The ContentDepot Users Summit conducted on April 4, 2008, was a forum for our advisory group of stations and producers to discuss real-world experiences with the ContentDepot and determine the priorities for the next phase of work on the system. More information about the priority list and plans will be published once we have a chance to assess the scope of work and timetable. Highest priority items identified by the group to be addressed are:

  • Messaging
  • Promo automation
  • Search
  • Portal Performance
  • Reports Refinement
  • Help Desk

Audio files for the ContentDepot Users Summit have been posted to the ContentDepot portal in the PRSS Resources Content Exchange. Navigate to the exchange files page, and look under the topic for "Users Summit". A playlist for the files is available under "On-Air Scripts".
