Content operations

Content operations (ContentOps) is about the ‘back end’ – the people, processes and systems involved in creating content. It can be messy, especially if it’s evolved organically over many years.

Streamlining how things are done, by who and when can bring enormous benefit. Less wasted time, a happier, more productive team and a better experience for your customers. Every time.

Often called the ‘glue’ that connects content strategy and content delivery, ContentOps binds the whole process together. It brings a repeatable, scalable and effective process for creating quality content that meets user needs and business goals.

It doesn’t have to be a massive change exercise! Small improvements where you need it most can make a big difference.

So what does it involve? Depending on the problems you need to solve, it could include:

• clarifying roles and responsibilities
• speeding up the content production lifecycle
• introducing quality standards, checkpoints or guidelines
• standardising workflows and tools
• developing a content model to make it easier to create and reuse content.
