Leveraging Software Tools To Help You Ensure Content Quality

Scott will discuss the weaknesses in our current approaches to managing content and content creators and make the case for:

1. The adoption of software tools that can drastically outperform human counterparts.
2. The adoption of controlled vocabularies to help make content less ambiguous and to improve content quality and translation accuracy (and make translation less expensive).
3. Documentation managers to use metrics to make informed, professional business decisions.

Scott will also demonstrate a content quality management tool so you can “see” how these ideas work in practice instead of simply imagining how they might work.

It will be a very valuable evening!

The Content Wrangler will also give away the following free tickets:

• 1 DocTrain West (May 6-9, 2008 in Vancouver – $999)
• 1 DocTrain Life Sciences (June 23-26, 2008 in Indianapolis — $1299)
• 1 DocTrain East (October 28-31, 2008 in Burlington, MA — $999)

You must be present to win, so mark your calendar and plan on joining us for the April 8 STC-Phoenix chapter meeting at the Phoenix Airport Hilton.
