[Case Study] Custom Manual Production "Intel FPGA"

A case where switching from traditional desktop publishing tools to DITA resulted in outstanding achievements.

We would like to introduce a case study of the implementation of "DITA XML" and "IXIASOFT DITA CMS" as a documentation production solution at Intel FPGA. The company was spending time on tedious tasks such as formatting tables, adjusting page breaks, indenting text, managing spacing above and below paragraphs, and handling bullet points. After the implementation, the quality of documents improved, reducing the support burden on Altera's service technicians. It became possible to track who was working on files and which topics had already been used in documents. [Challenges] - Enhance the search functionality and improve user experience by delivering more HTML content with improved metadata. - Achieve efficiency through content reuse and increase the productivity of each writer. - Create more accurate documents that better match customer needs with DITA topics. - Shorten the publication cycle by using DITA in conjunction with a Component Content Management System (CCMS). *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.
