Move your training deliverables to a dynamic, single-source solution

In this recorded, one-hour web session we show you how to develop a solution that can deliver faster, high-quality, standards-compliant training and eLearning.

Discover how the implementation of a Reusable Content Strategy. Arbortext and Windchill technology can help you build training content that allows for:

  • Innovative learning methodology — Role based, tailored to the individual needs, and measurable.
  • Global Coverage — When you want it, where you need it, in the language you prefer
  • Flexibility — Continuous blended material

Read the white paper that details how PTC employs its own Arbortext and Windchill software to improve delivery of PTC University learning content materials.

CPR For Your Product Information

In an unstructured authoring environment, product information is created without constancy in construction. The process leaves you with information that has no reliability in form, no reusability of information, and degrades the overall productivity in delivering content to the end user.

  • No steady pulse of information being generated in the same manner by all content creators. Because there is no set standard, anyone creating information can do so in their own style. It’s too hard to get formatting right across the entire organization—No Consistency
  • Clogged arteries of information begin to back up and choke off throughput. You can’t get the product information written up fast enough because you need to spend too much time formatting. Too much time spent on low-value tasks—Low Productivity
  • Flat lined content that you can’t do anything with. Your information is locked into serving only one purpose at a time and output to only one presentation style. Content is tied to one use and one output form—Little Reusability

In an unstructured authoring environment, product information is created without constancy in construction. The process leaves you with information that has no reliability in form, no reusability of information, and degrades the overall productivity in delivering content to the end user.

In contrast, structured authoring gives you:

  • Consistency – semantic markup allows for consistency of structure. All content is generated in one standardized style.
  • Productivity – applying set styles to content allows you to focus your time on high value tasks such as content creation.
  • Reusability – markup-driven formatting creates structure that allows for profiling.
