* 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
