Collaborative Single-Source Development using Flare and Contributor
7 August, 10:00-11:00 AM PDT (GMT-7)
MadCap Contributor is a great tool to review materials developed in Flare. But did you know that you could also use it as an authoring tool in your single-source workflow to rapidly and efficiently develop consistent materials? Non Flare-savvy subject matter experts can contribute directly to your Flare project while you maintain complete control over text, styles, snippets, and images.
Homer Christensen, senior instructional designer at Dynamics Research Corporation, will discuss and show you ways to set up your Flare project and workflow to include one or more Contributor users to create, modify, and remove content.

Project Showcase: N-able Technologies Migrates from FrameMaker to Flare
21 August, 10:00-11:00 AM PDT (GMT-7)
N-able Technologies, known for its award-winning remote monitoring and management software for managed service providers and IT departments, used to produce its technical documentation using processes based on the traditional print model.
To improve the delivery of content and their customer experience, N-able migrated from Adobe FrameMaker to Flare and improved their online Help in a number of ways. Join Patrick Calnan, documentation team leader at N-able Technologies, as he reviews how the migration process was accomplished and the numerous benefits that were achieved.
Calnan will also examine how the company utilizes other programs, such as Analyzer and Capture, as well as the new social collaboration platform, MadCap Pulse. Patrick will pass along some early findings and experiences with the latest cutting-edge documentation solutions.
This informative presentation will provide lessons learned “from the trenches,” as it were, with practical examples of how Flare, Analyzer, Capture and Pulse are all part of a technical writer's toolkit.
