JustSystems, Gilbane Offer Best Practices for Structured Content

Webinar Provides Best Practices for Self-Assessment and Understanding of Peer Benchmarks

NEW YORK and VANCOUVER — September 9, 2008 — Structured authoring and publishing are transforming technical communications for the enterprise. Typically organizations have confined structured authoring and publishing to technical documentation teams, but by extending these boundaries to manage business processes and customer relationships across the enterprise, organizations are realizing the benefits of increased revenues, cost reductions and risk mitigation.

In an upcoming webinar featuring a guest presenter from Flatirons Solutions, JustSystems and The Gilbane Group will cover the first level of the ROI Blueprint for Structured Content, a guide for expanding the advantages of structured authoring and publishing beyond technical documentation teams to include other enterprise domains in the organization. In this level which focuses on the theme, “Structured Content in Practice,” presenters will offer an in-depth review of widely-adopted best practices for structured content and explain how organizations can conduct a self-assessment of structured content practices.

What: “Structured Content in Practice – Peer Benchmarking of Today’s Practices,” part of the Developing a Strategic Roadmap for Structured Content webinar series produced jointly by JustSystems and The Gilbane Group

Who: Mary LaPlante, The Gilbane Group; Eric Severson, Flatirons Solutions; Bruce Sharpe, JustSystems

When: Thursday, September 11, 2008, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time (11:00 a.m. Pacific time)

How: Register for this free event at https://justsystems.webex.com/justsystems/onstage/g.php?t=a&d=926202286.

Attendees will gain a strong understanding of how their adoptions hold up to peer benchmarks and learn to make the business case for structured authoring across a variety of cross-functional domains.

In addition, all attendees will receive a free copy of the ROI Blueprint for Structured Content, a large-scale full-color poster that articulates the business value of structured content across the entire value chain, providing ROI anecdotes, case studies, research examples and pointers to additional resources. Information about upcoming webinars highlighting the second and third levels of the ROI Blueprint — “Structured Content for Leadership” and “Structured Content for Innovation” — can be found at https://justsystems.webex.com/justsystems/onstage/g.php?p=6&t=m.
