Scott Abel

I’m a content management strategist and social media choreographer with strengths in helping organizations improve the way they author, maintain, publish and archive their information assets. I help clients determine the best ways to efficiently manage their content lifecycles, including leveraging social media and networking technologies.

I’m also a presenter at content industry conferences and a founding member / former executive director of Content Management Professionals. And I co-produce several industry events including Web Content Chicago (www.webcontent2010.com), Intelligent Content (www.intelligentcontent2010.com), and others.

The Content Wrangler is a popular destination for communication professionals seeking information about content management. But I also maintain several social networking sites The Content Wrangler Community on Facebook and The Content Wrangler Community on Linkedin, both of which support a global network of content professionals from around the world. I also have a very popular feed on Twitter.

As for my interests, I have experience in XML-based enterprise content management strategy, high tech marketing communications, business process analysis, technical writing and editing, usability, content localization, and designing single source solutions. My formal journalism education, combined with 10 years as a technical writer, makes me a natural fit in organizations seeking to assure the content they provide to their customers is accurate and consistent everywhere it is used (write content once, use it often).
