I need something more extensive than MadCap Blog: Making the business case.
MADCAP CONTRIBUTOR HOW TO
I've searched for info on how to do this and I can find very little practical advice out there. I need to write a proposal/business case to convince these engineers and their leadership to purchase Contributor and use it instead of Word. Now that the project is growing, it has become clear it is time to get them to use Contributor. I anticipated moving them to use Contributor at some point because there is still a lot I cannot control without a lot of manual intervention on my side. The engineers go to the SharePoint library, check out the Word doc, make changes, check it back in. The content is in Flare and I publish the separate Word docs to a SharePoint doc library. I'm not publishing anything to HTML - it is purely a set of documentation.īecause the engineers are not writers, I set it up so they can continue to use Word to create their content. I initially set up Flare to help me manage the content. Our process and setup is evolving as the documentation set grows.
My function as the writer/editor on the project is to review and edit engineers' changes and publish (push from Word to PDF) new versions of the doc set on a quarterly basis. The authors and owners of this content are not writers they are engineers (e.g., electrical, construction, design, architectural, operations, network). I've moved a large, rapidly growing, technical documentation project into Flare.
