you want it when?! content strategy for an impatient world
DESCRIPTION
In this webcast recording, Sarah O'Keefe discusses how content initiatives are putting new demands on technical communication—improving customer experience, building interactive documents, including advanced visualizations, integrated translations, and more. To meet these requirements, we must increase the velocity of technical communication. That means stripping out inefficiency and creating content development workflows that eliminate wasted time. Most publishing systems are ill-equipped for flexible, fast, and changeable production. Instead, they are intended to support a manufacturing process, in which the result is static (like print or PDF). For today's workflows, this approach is not good enough. We must increase our velocity so that we can support the requirements that are coming.TRANSCRIPT
