ANNOUNCE: Justifying a CMS for technical documentation
Technical authoring teams are often asked to justify the use of a
specialized CMS to manage their documentation, especially when
there is already an enterprise CMS in place. If you are having
this particular debate and need ammunition, check out our new
White Paper in the SiberLogic library at http://www.siberlogic.com/pickup/page.asp?id=5

selection of SiberSafe products is perfect for organizations with
complex, evolving technical documentation, a mix of content
authors and reviewers, and a restricted budget. Fully integrated
