But first, we need to move from ad-hoc content creation to content componentization, and then to content services. XML and Web Services are the key to this transition that can help organizations maximize the value of their content.]]> Key Findings:
    • The market for XML content lifecycle solutions is expected to grow from $1.8 Billion in 2003 to over $11.6 Billion by 2008.
    • Producers of content in the enterprise spend over 60% of their time locating, formatting, and structuring content and just 40% of their time actually creating it.
    • By 2008, about 60% of all content lifecycle products will be XML-enabled.
    • the primary challenge in the enterprise for producers of content — information that is intended for human consumption — is content reuse: the ability to integrate content from disparate sources.
    • Efforts to improve content processes have been slowed by efforts to extract and manipulate content from multiple, disparate data sources.
