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...
XDocs has provided us the managed environment we needed as we undertook the process of moving our content from unstructured Word documents to DITA-compliant XML. We are now able to effectively track our single-sourced documentation, and thanks to the intelligent source control, we are working in a multi-author environment without any headaches! The user interface is intuitive—clearly displaying file status and other relevant information.
