I would suggest the use of native policies (like in our case the expiration policy) that you can attach to a specific content type and trigger an action / workflow when the policy is met. In this case it will be when an item's age is reached. (eg : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262112%28v=office.12%29.aspx) What I've been doing for a customer is a custom field "review date" which allow them to pick a date when the content should be reviewed (because different type of content got different life time and even within the same content type it was not consistent) associated with a daily timer job that was looking for item reaching the dreaded date. As soon as found, it was sending an email to the content creator with a cc to the site collection administrator. |

You should first think on what actually is the 'Content' you want to set alerts. If they are records in document library\ lists, You can set retention policy. First, Create a workflow for the list to send email to the site owner. Now, under information management policies, you can Enable Retention > Add a retention stage > Set date to expire>Under actions, select start workflow> Select workflow to send email alert. If they are lists\sites, you can create a custom timer job to scan the content and send emails. |
