DITA Style in Arbortext. It’s Easy

Anyone interested in moving to DITA now or in the future, anyone who has already begun that transition but is looking for a better way, and anyone who is just plain curious. In this recorded, one-hour web session we show how easy it is to create DITA stylesheets in Arbortext.

Did you know with Arbortext, Specializations require no additional programming?

Did you know Arbortext ships with easily customizable stylesheets to support output to multi-channel output formats (HTML, PDF, RTF, etc.)?

Did you know PTC now has the only fully-functional, end-to-end, enterprise-level DITA solution: Arbortext Editor, Publishing Engine, and Content Management System?

Did you know Arbortext 5.4M50 was released June 1st with full support for DITA 1.2 even before 1.2 was released for public comment?

The OASIS DITA standard began with IBM and it began in Arbortext. PTC/Arbortext was the only vendor invited to be a charter member of the Oasis DITA Technical Committee and participates on that committee today.

Podcast: Todd Nowlan, “Benefits of XML and single-sourcing”

When we were getting ready for the CMS DITA/NA 2010, we reached out to long-time Arbortext customers to find out where they were now, what they did originally, and how they got from point A to point B. Just what did it take to make a successful single-sourcing implementation happen.

One of the customers willing to talk about their implementation was Todd Nowlan, “large Canadian telecom”. They’d started before DITA was really ready, and they’re still using the system today. The original project was to support enterprise content in a large, global company. What they did was amazing. We’ve heard Todd’s story several times, and are amazed each time. Something more comes out in what it takes to be successful at that level for that long.

On this podcast, we’re delighted to have Todd share what he knows with the user community so you, too, can be successful with your projects.  You might also enjoy Todd’s presentation to the Arbortext User Group from August 2010. We all learn from each other. Talk, present, or listen. Whatever you do, join the conversation.

Enjoy!
