DITA

People frequently ask: "Can I use DITA"? The simple answer is yes. However, a more appropriate question would be: "What will it take to make DITA work for me"?

While some are using DITA right out of the box, more than half of the organizations that put DITA into production find they have to alter it to meet their particular needs. We can help you determine:

  • How effectively DITA will meet your needs
  • Where specialization of DITA will be needed
  • How to implement specialized DITA with your software tools

Key components of our DITA Solution

The key components of our DITA solution include:

Facilitated Content Audit and Modeling session

The Facilitated Content Audit and Modeling™ session helps you to identify the structure of your content and the opportunities for content reuse. It also helps you to build the models that will support your content now and into the future. We will help you to determine how to adapt your structure to DITA and define the extent of specialization required.

For more information see The Facilitated Content Audit and Modeling Session.

DTD/EDD/Schema and stylesheet specialization

We can implement your DITA specialized model in a DTD, EDD, or Schema and specialize the associated stylesheets. For more information see Implement.

Mentoring/Empowering

Want to implement DITA on your own? We can help you by guiding you through the process with a combination of instruction, review, and demonstration. For more information see Empowering.
