Bringing Your Enterprise Structured Writing System into 2017 and Beyond
The use of both structured writing and structured markup has evolved over the years. Organizations need to control and reuse content across the enterprise. Information Consumers are demanding just enough, just in time information in their language of choice. And this is true beyond Technical Publications for content that includes policies and procedures, documentation, product sheets, compliance information, marketing material, and more.
This Webinar will present an updated view of structured authoring, offered in the context of current technology that is cost-effective. Gorman will present an overview of 7 aspects of modern enterprise structured writing with structured mark-up including
- Topic-based Writing
- Information typing for information consumers
- Effective authoring principles behind great content
- Reusing content
- Improving access for authors and readers with metadata
- Assembling larger documents, and
- Managing content across the enterprise
Attendees will see how structured authoring initiatives including Information Mapping™ and DITA can be updated and modernized to improve authoring, storage, and publishing efficiency and effectiveness. They will see a glimpse at how tools like FSPro™ and Docutools™ can be transitioned to modern technical facilities. It can be quite effective if you Keep IT Simple Smart-person.
