Wednesday, 3 Dec at 2:00 pm-GCM-1: Optimizing the Global Content Value Chain: Focus on Product Content

Product content includes technical documentation as well as the content that lives with a product or service in many formats and contexts, including pre-sales, post-sales, aftermarket, training, and service. The global economy adds languages as yet another output to the traditional multichannel formula, increasing content volume due to the nuances of dialect and culture. This session discusses how to design GCVCs that integrate content and localization/translation technologies to support single-sourcing, simultaneous product shipment programs, and alignment with product lifecycle management or product data management systems. Speakers share current best practices and provide insight into what’s coming in the next wave of people, processes and technologies for multilingual product content.

Thursday, 4 Dec 2:00pm  - EPT-3: Using DITA for Enterprise Publishing

It has been 3 years since DITA 1.0 was approved by the OASIS Technical Committee, and it is very safe to say that no XML-based publishing standard has had such rapid and far-ranging uptake. This session looks at some emerging uses of DITA while also discussing some of the positive business impact enjoyed by companies who have already adopted the standard.

Moderator: Bill Trippe, Lead Analyst, XML, Gilbane Group
Speakers: Eric Severson, Co-founder and CTO, Flatirons Solutions
