Technical Writing: Reduce Costs and Gain a Competitive Edge
Like all business units, technical writing teams are under
increasing pressure to demonstrate greater value and reduce costs.
But is this possible? Can technical writing teams become a source
of competitive advantage by addressing challenges such as
inefficient workflows, inappropriate technologies and the
continuing pressure to cut costs?
You will learn how in our latest white paper, "Technical
Writing: Reducing Costs Drives Competitive Advantage for Savvy
Companies." This white paper will discuss how technical writers
can increase their relevancy and value to the business by
establishing more efficient workflows, adopting innovative
sourcing strategies and deploying single-source publishing
technologies.
You are also invited to join our two-part webinar series, which
will discuss the tools, technologies and trends that are impacting
technical communications and how organizations can reduce costs
and drive competitive advantage.
