If you are a senior manager looking to develop future publishing and documentation strategies, an IT manager needing to understand new publishing tools or a technical author looking to expand your skill set; then we have a course to help you.

All courses are one day in length and can be held on-site at your facility or at an Austin TX location. Course sizes are limited to between 3 and 12 people to maximize effectiveness.

Course #3 - Choosing a Content Management System. - If you are looking for a way to manage your content, how do you go about picking the right tool? The market can appear crowded with many different types of tools and a large number of vendors. Based on our practical experience this course will teach you how to find, select and pick the CMS for your needs.

Course #4 - Business and Technical Writing - This course is designed to introduce the field of Business and Technical Writing to those considering embarking on a career in Corporate Publishing as either an employee or freelancer. It will introduce the basics of both Technical and Commercial writing as well as help the attendees identify where those skills are needed.

Course #1 - Developing A Content Strategy - This course will teach the fundamentals of developing a strategy to meet current and future documentation needs. It will discuss how to develop and take an "information audit," discuss publishing standards and their impacts, outline knowledge transfer needs and conclude with how to bring these all together to form and overall plan for ongoing development, maintenance and delivery of corporate document assets.

Course #2 - Making Sense of Standards - Today's corporate publishing world is drowning in an alphabet soup of standards and acronyms. From S1000D to DITA, from XML to SGML, from CGM to SVG - how do you know which ones to use? This course will present and discuss the various standards current in the industry, their application and how to decide if they make sense for your business.

Course #5 - Writing in a Controlled Language. - This course teaches the basics and benefits of writing using a controlled language. It introduces the concept of building corporate dictionaries based on "one word=one meaning".
