 Single-Sourcing Solutions, the Arbortext Experts

Abstract:

Arbortext is more than an Editor. Arbortext is really a full platform from editing to publishing and content management. Arbortext is the only fully-functional, end-to-end, pure XML, enterprise-level DITA solution.

In this presentation, Liz Fraley is going to show Arbortext Editor 6.0 (with maybe a little bit about Styler thrown in). We’ll focus on usability improvements and enhancements for DITA support. There are a lot of new changes that everyone who’s an everyday user has been happy to see.

The OASIS DITA standard began with IBM and it began in Arbortext. PTC/Arbortext was the only vendor invited to be a charter member of the OASIS DITA Technical Committee and still participates on that committee today. IBM Editing staff continues to use Arbortext Editor as well. Support for DITA 1.2 was available as early as the 5.4 M50 Release in June of last year.

Who should attend: Anyone interested in moving to DITA now or in the future, anyone who has already begun that transition but is looking for a better way, and anyone who is just plain curious.

About the Presenter:

Before founding Single-Sourcing Solutions, Liz worked in both high-tech and government sectors, developing and delivering technical  design and strategy of authoring and publishing solutions as a  Single-Source/XML Architect/Programmer. For over a decade, she has  architected and implemented the single-sourcing systems for government  and high tech companies. Specializing in practical development and deployment, she is a strong advocate of designing architectures that  directly improve organizational efficiency, productivity, and  interoperability.

She presents regularly at industry and vendor conferences and is very  active in the software engineering user communities: SF Bay ACM council  member, SF Bay Arbortext PTC/User group charter member, and host of  both a blog and a podcast that focus on strategies, skills, and  resources for the user community.

She holds degrees in Computer Science and English from the University  of College Park and a Masters in English from the University of  Southern Mississippi.

 Break down the walls!

Abstract:

So you are finally planning that big move over to structured content. Great! You understand the benefits of reuse and what it means for your business.

But what do you do about the mountains of legacy content? Pack it all up and bring it with you? Leave it behind hoping you will never need to look at it again? Work in two worlds of structured (for the new content) and unstructured (for the old data) authoring?

In this FREE one hour session we will talk about the options you have for handling all of that old data. Like the Sherpa guides of Nepal, we can help you. In this session we will share with you what you will need to help you on the journey, what to plan for, and some hard won lessons learned along the way.

Lightning Talk: Do Not Sell Yourself Short

Presentation

“Don’t Sell Yourself Short”

Presented by::
Liz Fraley, Single-Sourcing Solutions

Watch the video: Lightning Talk at STC Annual Conference, May 2011

As always, members and customers of Single-Sourcing
Solutions will be able to access the video, slides, and transcript here.

 Reuse That!

Abstract:

Did you know there is a new renaissance on the horizon? We are thrilled to see, more and more, a new enthusiasm about content creation to publication. We are all familiar with the words “content reuse” and “xml authoring” and “single-source” and “topic based authoring”. But all this talk is now coming from outside the walls of traditional tech pubs. It is starting to get a great deal of attention from the more creatively focused departments of Sales and, more notably, Marketing.

Now is the time for us to break down the walls that once divided the teams that create content. But how do you do that? Don’t sell yourself short! Those of you who have built your profession around the technology of creation and delivery have gained a great deal of insight. This expertise makes you a valuable resource for those seeking to adopt practices that are now like second nature to you.

About Lightning Talks

Lightning talks are presentations that are highly focused. The format for this presentation was 20 slides in 5 minutes, auto advancing at timed intervals.

 Break down the walls!

Abstract:

Your information content is a critical business asset. It is a key differentiator of you, your organization, and what you have to offer customers.

For some, it is the first introduction you have to potential new customers and for the rest an integral tool in retaining and expanding your existing customer relationships.

Traditionally people have viewed content in isolated silos. Separating marketing and product management from the engineering development from support services. In today’s market place, leaders have taken a transformative approach and have broken down the archaic barriers to allow for a dynamic flow of information and collaboration while still maintaining a high level of visibility into all facets of the lifecycle. How? By changing the way they manage content!

Join Single-Sourcing Solutions as we discuss what true component-level content management can do for you and your bottom line. We will give you tips and pointers of key things to look for when evaluating solutions and red flags to avoid.
