Returning Your Investment

SDI customers benefit from the use of Author-it through reductions in time, cost, and resources, while assuring the consistency and quality of information. Author-it's intelligent support for single source authoring reduces costs and provides faster authoring, review, and publishing cycles.

While minimizing the cost of creating and maintaining content, you maintain a single version of each topic and reuse any topic for multiple documents and outputs. This approach reduces the opportunities for error and inconsistencies to creep into multiple versions of topics.

Leverage Previous Investments in Content. Import existing content from print, HTML, and Help formats to preserve the value of legacy information.

Easy to Implement - Instant Value. Author-it includes "out-of-the-box" support for the complete process of creating, maintaining, and publishing content. Because formatting is automated by Author-it's integrated publishing facilities, there is no need to reformat when the same information is published to multiple output formats.

Improve Productivity Throughout the Publishing Cycle. Using Author-it across the enterprise maximizes your Return on Investment (ROI) and lowers your total cost of content development and document production.

Reduced Translation Costs. Using Author-it Localization Manager, you can dramatically reduce word count for translation projects and eliminate the need for your translation vendor to work with formatting.
