"THE WORKS" Newsletter - #7 - September 2007

The Works Logo


Welcome to the latest issue of THE WORKS, the WebWorks.com newsletter. The WebWorks.com team is pleased to announce the release of ePublisher 9.3 -- the first fully featured publishing platform for delivering DITA content online. The 9.3 release brings the power and flexibility of the ePublisher platform to those companies who are authoring, or planning to author, their content to the Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) standard.

With ePublisher 9.3 you can now publish DITA content online in over a dozen output formats without needing to learn the complexity of the DITA Open Tool Kit. We believe that ePublisher is unique in allowing you to merge your content regardless of authoring environment to produce a single seamless online deliverable. ePublisher 9.3 also brings significant benefits to existing ePublisher users authoring in FrameMaker and Word. Make sure to check out the special ePublisher 9.3 section of the Web site, and register for one of our What's New in ePublisher 9.3 webinars.

Interest in the RoundUp Conference continues to grow and we are looking forward to seeing you in Austin in November for two days that will increase your product knowledge, give you the opportunity to ask lots of questions, and of course offer a chance to network and have some fun too.

Your Content. Your Way. Every Time.

Eliminating "END GAME"

“Just publish it!”

What exactly do those three words mean? Over the last 15 or so years, the corporate publishing industry has invested a lot of time, attention, and software development into a variety of initiatives, including:

  • Authoring and managing content in more efficient ways
  • Making content reusable
  • Creating new delivery formats and media

But what about the process of taking that content and getting it ready for delivery to the end user? When you really start to think about it, the phrase “just publish it” covers a multitude of steps, as well as external pressures to tighten schedules and produce more with the same (or fewer) resources.

This is what one of our customers christened as “End Game,” a phrase we liked so much, we adopted it internally.

But what is “END GAME”?

For the answer to that question, check out the full text of this article on TechCom Manager written by Alan J. Porter, our VP-Operations.
