Educational institution gets more mileage from standards-based authoring
The Company
Thompson Rivers UniversityThe Situation
A university that delivers distance education degrees wanted to find a less costly, more efficient way of delivering their course content.
The Challenge
The organization discovered that having created their learning content in a proprietary XML format, they were locked into using a costly, closed system. They were looking for an affordable solution that provided authoring and publishing of the proprietary XML to both print and Web formats.
The Solution
XDocs was implemented and configured to convert their content, and style it for publication in multiple output channels. This was accomplished with the XDocs open system. Best of all, the entire cost of XDocs was a third of the annual support costs of maintaining their legacy content management system!
Our Clients Say...
Workday’s choice of DITA as our documentation schema was the deciding factor in our selection of XDocs. Their support of the DITA Open Toolkit processes made our content publishable right out the box. And their configurable transformation pipelines have allowed us to deliver our DITA-based documentation and help content with a Workday look and feel.
