Problems associated with the absence of centralized content management

If there is no structured and organized system to manage content for use in communication projects multichannel destined (web, print, presentations), anomalies or inefficiencies may arise:

1. duplication of work, with consequent difficulties in finding the requested version;
2. loss of time in the rewriting of files for new projects;
3. duplication or loss of files due to the absence of a uniform naming convention;
4. heightened risk of poor quality of the published data;
5. creative and executive time given to activities not strictly connected to primary professional activities;
6. difficulties and risks associated with sending and exchanging files -- often “heavy” files -- among departments;
7. the lack of movement control of the production data.
