ANNOUNCE: On-Demand Astoria DITA Webinar: Why VP's Fear
Documentation (with JoAnn Hackos)

Your company's new product is ready to ship - but where is the
documentation? If you are like most managers, you can't scale your
staff to match aggressive release dates, nor do you have mechanisms in
place to handle obstacles like seamless translation into multiple
languages. And, you and your VP are painfully aware that every day the
product doesn't ship is a loss of revenue!

Join Astoria, NCR Teradata, and Dr. JoAnn Hackos of the Center for
Information Development Management for an on-demand presentation of
"Why VP's Fear Documentation", a free one-hour archived webinar that
will explore how the Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA), an
information standard adopted by leading organizations for technical
documentation, is allaying documentation fears and improving
time-to-market for products. During this webinar attendees will learn
how to adopt the latest product documentation advancements to:

* Reduce time-to-market by leveraging existing content resources
* Gain more control and visibility into document creation and
management
* Create better documents in less time, with less effort, and lower
production costs
