Document creation/content development/ transfer
of knowledge/ [enter your description here] is
not a business expense.
It is a revenue generating tool.
With today’s consumer,
it can become the
most pivotal asset to a
company’s continued success.

Why listen to us?
VASONT SYSTEMS | @VasontSystems | www.vasont.com WEBWORKS | @webworks_com | www.webworks.com3
For documentation to add value
back to the company,
procedures must align with
business strategies.
Build the business case for a CM strategy
by measuring pain, building a
detailed business plan, and
presenting the right information to
the right audience.

Points to remember from our presentation last year…
How to mix up
the right metrics
to show the
potential success
of a content
management
strategy
VASONT SYSTEMS | @VasontSystems | www.vasont.com WEBWORKS | @webworks_com | www.webworks.com5
Before you can measure,
you must define

writer’s responsibility noun 1 to provide
a service to the customer on the
company’s behalf
quality noun 1 positive customer
experience
VASONT SYSTEMS | @VasontSystems | www.vasont.com WEBWORKS | @webworks_com | www.webworks.com7
Why does the customer
experience matter?
Documentation can shape
the customer experience,
creating loyalty and adding
value back to the company.

Building a Business Plan
VASONT SYSTEMS | @VasontSystems | www.vasont.com WEBWORKS | @webworks_com | www.webworks.com19
Building a Business Plan
Measures of Delivery =
Progress
Measures of Reuse =
Efficiency
Measures of Quality =
Return
Measures of Pain =
Needs
Now that you have all your ducks in a row,
VASONT SYSTEMS | @VasontSystems | www.vasont.com WEBWORKS | @webworks_com | www.webworks.com20
Present
Your Plan
VASONT SYSTEMS | @VasontSystems | www.vasont.com WEBWORKS | @webworks_com | www.webworks.com21
Currently we are experiencing these Measures
of Pain.
The over all effect is the decrease or loss in
these Measures of Quality.
What I am proposing is this plan that would
cost [this much].
We have these Measures of Delivery in place
to show the progress of the plan, followed by
these Measures of Reuse to show the
efficiency of the plan.
Our goal is to increase these Measures of
Quality by [this much], returning [this much]
value back to the company.
