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 technica
l
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

ANNOUNCE: Vasont Systems Presents "Content Management 104: How to Cho
ose a Content Model"

Leading Provider of Content Management Software to Deliver Fourth
Presentation in Webinar Series on Basics of Content Management

Emigsville, PA, October 2, 2006 Vasont Systems, a leading provider
of content management software and data services, today announced
the webinar, "Content Management 104: How to Choose a Content Model"
presented by Vasont Systems Applications Engineer, Mary Hush. The
webinar, the last of a four-part series, will take place on October
18, 2006 at 1:00 pm ET/10:00 am PT.

To get started in content management, you must choose a content
model and get your content structured. But that is a tall order
to ask of a technical writer or manager who is not familiar with
content models. What content models are available? How do you know
which content model to choose? Or should you create your own custom
model?

In this presentation, Mary Hush will explain the differences between
the content model options and provide guidelines for choosing a
content model that is right for an organization.

Attendees will learn:
* What a content model is
* Content model options for a content management system
* Differences between off-the-shelf content models, such as DITA
and DocBook
* When is it better to create your own custom content model?

Mary Hush, Applications Engineer for Vasont Systems, is responsible
for technical support for the sales and marketing staff within the
organization. Her primary responsibilities include consultation with
prospective clients and providing demonstrations of Vasonts
technical features and capabilities. She also participates in
presentations for Vasonts Webinar Series, industry conferences,
and media events. She has more than ten years of experience
in the communications and publishing industries, as well as
extensive knowledge in content management and workflow strategies.
