SaaS Success Stories: Making CMS Solutions Affordable!
* Are you in the midst of going through a formal evaluation and procurement process to purchase a DITA/XML content management system? * Do you have a small group and not much budget to invest in technology? * Do you have some users that only need occasional access to a system? * Do you have “peak periods” with heavy production workloads? What if you could have a complete XML-based end-to-end solution for managing and producing multilingual content...for about the same price as you pay for your departmental phone bill? “Software as a Service (SaaS)” is quickly becoming the preferred approach for many organizations to get access to technology that was previously difficult or impossible to afford for smaller/midsize businesses. This session will describe a number of successful implementations of the DocZone DITA CMS, translation, and single source publishing environment across a number of different industries. * Are you in the midst of going through a formal evaluation and procurement process to purchase a DITA/XML content management system? * Do you have a small group and not much budget to invest in technology? * Do you have some users that only need occasional access to a system? * Do you have “peak periods” with heavy production workloads?

This session will describe a number of successful implementations of the DocZone DITA CMS, translation, and single source publishing environment across a number of different industries. Publishing organizations have long recognized the value of migrating content to XML to attain the benefits of content reuse, reduced localization costs, and single-source publishing. But, many of these organizations have never been able to justify the high cost and long implementation cycles required to install an in-house XML content management solution. Recently, a new alternative has emerged—the “Software as a Service (SaaS)” model, which offers a hosted XML content management environment on a subscription basis. According to leading research firm InfoTrends, over 40% of their survey respondents would either “prefer” or “definitely consider” a hosted content management solution. This seminar will highlight the following topics: * Critical success factors for evaluating XML content management solutions * Comparison of the differences between a traditional “in-house” purchased CMS business model vs. a SaaS subscription-based business model * New pricing models for SaaS solutions in a Web 2.0 world * “Real life” case studies of successful DocZone SaaS implementations across a number of industries

Notas do Editor
- XML celebrated its 10 th birthday last year, and in that decade we have seen a fairly steady move to adoption of technologies based on this standard in the publishing community and techdoc communities. The reasons for moving content over to XML are compelling: content reuse, single-source publishing, faster turnaround times, and significantly lower costs for translating content into multiple languages. But, there have also been significant barriers to widespread adoption of these technologies, especially with regards to content management systems. These platforms are typically quite expensive, both in terms of software license and maintenance costs, as well as the associated implementation and integration services to bring these systems into full production use. In addition, it often takes 6-12 months or more to fully migrate to the new environment...and in the meantime, production schedules don't stop! The goal of today's session is to provide some advice from the perspective people who have lived through and successfully endured many implementation projects, in order to give you the chance to benefit from our experience. We'll also introduce the concept of the “Software as a Service” business model as a new, more affordable alternative to traditional software purchases and supplement that with some real-life case studies and success stories.
