Content reuse, single-sourcing, multi-channel publishing; these terms have typically brought to mind expensive enterprise publishing solutions, but that doesn’t have to be the case! Come and see how MadCap Software is solving the problems of content authoring for maximum effective reuse, single-sourcing, and multi-channel publishing on a shrink-wrap software budget.

Start with a single authoring seat and then only grow when needed. Additional modules supporting multimedia development, localization/translation work flows, document/content analysis, even Web 2.0 functionality are available and can be added at any time.

Anyone responsible for creating or authoring content, publishing or re-publishing content, performing translation or localization, or architecting content systems for maximum re-use and leverage should attend this session. The tools and work flows covered will include:

  • Flare - Content reuse, authoring, and publishing
  • Mimic/Capture/Echo - Multimedia tools for creating animated or static visuals or audio
  • Analyzer - The ultimate in automated content analysis finding technical and consistency problems in tens of thousands of content pages
  • Lingo - Dedicated and integrated translation memory supporting the MadCap Software tools and industry standards
  • Feedback Server - Don’’t guess, know how your content is being used by your customers

MadCap Software is leading the industry forward, come and see how.
