Many High Tech and Mechanical Engineering organisations of various sizes have implemented XML and Component Content Management to oversee the complex data and management tasks required in manufacturing, selling and supporting complex hardware and software.
Global players like Schlumberger and Nokia have been investing in structured content management for some 15 years, driving down the total cost of ownership of such systems and advancing standards such as DITA and XML that ease implementation and facilitate automated publishing and managed reuse. High tech hardware and software manufacturers often need to:
- Lower overall product development times and costs
- Deliver consistently branded and formatted for and increasingly complex combined hardware and software product line
- Share content between product lines and departments like engineering, training, support and technical communications
- Deliver customised versions of information in multiple languages and formats to an increasing number of delivery channels
