Why was SJM looking for a Why was SJM looking for a Content Management Content Management System?System?• Increased workload• NO increase in head count• FrameMaker had been pushed to its limits with
conditional text to achieve a pseudo “single-source” environment
• Increased pace of manual releases to the point that 2+ writers were working on versions of essentially the same manual
• Enormous DTP costs of localized manuals($10 per page just for DTP work)

Author-it: Where are we Author-it: Where are we now?now?Publish for print (Word > PDF)
• Automation is still needed to format tables and graphics properly for page size
Publish for HTML• SJM requires “old style” HTML (v1.0) – NO cascading style
sheet (CSS)• Author-it produces “current day” HTML (v5.0?) – uses CSS• SJM utilizes a script to strip out CSS references and imbed
formatting information from CSS directly into HTML code
