TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Talking from my side as giving a Paligo demo frequently to all sorts of
companies, I am hearing more and more requests for integration with LMS
systems (learning management system). That's why Paligo made the SCORM
output. It makes perfect sense. A lot of the content can be reused between
the two.
Training is not just about slides anymore. There's more types of media and
documents that a training department can create. Some content will be unique
to regular techpubs and some to training. But the shared content can save a
lot of time and energy on both sides.
I'd suggest asking your training department if they are using an LMS. If
not, why not :)
Then I would check which products provide an integration (using SCORM is the
standard I know) that would allow you to share content between the two.
You also may find, which I have seen, that training teams will want licenses
to the techpubs authoring platform.
Best regards,
Steve Wiseman, Paligo

The answer is obviously yes, but without more information, it would be hard
to give concrete suggestions. Are you looking for a way to reuse slides? To
have different departments create content simultaneously? What is the
perceived difficulty?
