On-Demand Event

Duration: 1 Hour

Your company’s new product is ready to ship—but where is the documentation? If your business is like most, you can’t scale your staff to match aggressive release dates, nor do you have mechanisms in place to handle obstacles like seamless translation into multiple languages. And you are painfully aware that every day the product doesn’t ship is a loss of revenue!

Register now to watch a panel of leading product documentation experts—including information architecture guru Dr. JoAnn Hackos—and gain insights into dynamic publishing solutions adopted by Fortune 500 companies to control operational efficiencies, improve production cycles and reduce overhead.

John Waddell from Micron Technology—the world’s leading provider of advanced semiconductor solutions—examines the causes and conditions that drove the semiconductor giant to adopt a single-source information model and outline the benefits of content re-use, including:
  • Faster time-to-market by leveraging content re-use across the enterprise
  • Lower product documentation and localization costs
  • Optimal operational efficiencies to improve content quality and consistency
  • Improved review and approval cycles via global collaboration
