When structuring and organizing content, it’s tempting to develop a single end-to-end information architecture that governs everything from content creation to delivery. But how do you balance serving upstream authors and downstream consumers, especially when the latter includes several distinct groups of users, systems, and needs? The answer is to separately define multiple IAs—one for management (how content is created and stored) and one for each delivery channel (how content is presented and used). In our presentation, we’ll discuss the key differences in these two forms of IA and how interaction between them enables business success.
