Publish Content

Do you issue product or service manuals? Do you need an interactive delivery solution that provides advanced distribution and viewing of XML content? Are your customers demanding unique and personalized communication?

From the same single XML-based source, SDL Structured Content Technologies allows you to publish to the Web, PDF, CD-Rom or other media. Publishing can be based on XSLT or XSL-FO scripts for Web publishing, or can be done through a publishing engine like SDL XPP, SDL LiveContent, Antenna House, Adobe FrameMaker, or others.

Dynamic Publishing refers to a business’ ability to push granular and tailored content dynamically to global customers.

The increasing complexity of today's global products has spurred demand for the most up-to-date content, delivered in the right format and language, at the time it is needed.  Putting control in the hand of the content consumer means they can select content unique to their requirements, including variables such as skill level, language or role. Some of the benefits of moving from static content to a dynamic, interactive and portable delivery model include:

• Faster delivery time of content to market (more efficient product lifecycle)
• Increased customer satisfaction (revenue and brand impact)
• Reduced calls to call center (cost reduction)
• Visibility to use of content (eliminate unneeded content, refocus on priority content)
• Ability to get customer feedback to improve content (higher quality documentation)
