San Mateo, Spanish for St. , Calif. -- Driving efficiencies in dynamic publishing, Astoria Software will join Teradata at the Content Management Strategies/DITA North America Conference 2007 to discuss the advantages that the Darwin Information Typing Architecture The Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) is an XML-based architecture for authoring, producing, and delivering technical information.

In the IT world, there are more ways to compute ROI than Carter has liver pills (and for those of you who never heard of that expression, it means a lot). ) from technical product documentation. DITA is a technical information standard established by OASIS, a non-profit consortium that creates global standards for e-business and structured content. By supporting this standard, Astoria enables customers like Teradata to establish a common information model that optimizes content reuse, and reduces time and costs to create and deliver technical product information. "DITA Adoption for CMS (1) See content management system and color management system.

Its product development cycles are often compressed and overlapping with release schedules, feature lists, and field procedures that change very frequently. Astoria will allow Teradata to address support for this constant change and meet release cycles by managing content from its XML CMS that supports 'write once, review once' features on original source content, and supports a DITA information model for a standardized topic-based approach to authoring, managing and publishing technical information. According to Astoria Software's Gettinger, "Teradata's Information Engineering team plays a vital role in long-term customer satisfaction of customers. They're writing materials designed to support field engineers who maintain mission-critical systems with extreme service level agreements -- typically less than two hours of scheduled down time per year. Given the accelerating pace of change and the high variety of Teradata systems configurations, adopting a common information model like DITA to deliver the benefits of maximum content reuse is critical to Teradata's product documentation success."
