Presenter:
Jeff Engle of Xerox Services
We’ve all heard about or experienced the value that DITA brings to our technical publications process. Improved documentation quality, faster time to market, and significant savings, especially in the area of localization, are key drivers to move to DITA. Usually implemented as a departmental solution for product documentation, DITA can also be leveraged across the enterprise to drive efficiency and deliver savings in non-traditional areas.
DCL and Bluestream Database Software are pleased to have the opportunity to host Jeff Engle of Xerox Services as he takes us through the good, bad, and ugly of implementing DITA internally for technical documentation at Xerox, where they were able to cut development time and achieve over 588% content reuse in publications. In addition, Engle discusses how those experiences were leveraged to implement a HR content management system based on DITA that boasted a 500% reuse of content, along with his experiences around implementing DITA for learning content.
