This presentation will focus on how engineering organizations in manufacturing entities are achieving remarkable productivity gains through the use of XML-based authoring tools and content management systems. Authoring and managing content is a key function connected to product lifecycle management. Organizations are under increasing pressure to quickly update, reuse and disseminate content to targeted knowledge workers. Through case study analysis, learn how software systems based on XML and Web services standards allow seamless integration of processes and enhanced productivity. Learn how authoring and editing improvements allow companies to more flexibly reuse and publish content for multiple audiences to multiple platforms. Today's XML-based content management systems allow thin-client browser based editing and integration with any authoring tool, further improving collaboration across the extended enterprise.
