Webinar: Medtronic, DITA, Single-Sourcing, and Multi-Channel Communications

On Wednesday, June 13 at 1:00 EST, Senior Analyst Bill Trippe will be doing a Webinar with Medtronic and the XMetal folks at JustSystems.

While documentation is a necessary deliverable for all companies, its value and contribution to bottom-line business results is often underestimated and overlooked. For Medtronic, one of the world's most innovative medical device manufacturers, documentation is much more than a checkbox on a product release timeline - it is a direct link to customer satisfaction and patient well-being. Medtronic's Rob Kimm will discuss Medtronic's approach to delivering a better customer experience while also ensuring compliance with regulations that impact technical documentation.

Prior to using DITA, Medtronic had a decentralized, heterogeneous environment that slowed production and resulted in redundant workflows. Seven project deliverables were developed in 5 different tools, and the mutually-exclusive tools allowed for little to no ability to achieve true reuse of common content. They now can reuse common content across deliverable types, which has led to great efficiency, accuracy, and consistency.
