Astoria Software Demonstrates How Manufacturers Can Streamline Product Documentation Processes at The Gilbane Conference

Global Companies Will Learn to Leverage DITA Standard to Reduce Costs, Achieve Content Consistency, and Speed Time-to-Publish

SAN MATEO, Calif. – April 3, 2007 – As content managers, IT strategists, project managers, marketing managers, and others prepare to converge at The Gilbane Conference San Francisco later this month, Astoria Software continues driving efficiencies in dynamic publishing with a conference exhibit that will demonstrate the company's support for the Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) information standard. The leading event for global information management, The Gilbane Conference San Francisco will be held on April 10 – 12, 2007, at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco.

At the conference, Astoria will highlight its forthcoming on-demand content management solutions targeting organizations that are adopting the DITA information standard to accelerate time-to-publish for product documentation, while improving content consistency and reducing overall publishing costs. By supporting this standard, Astoria enables customers to drive a common information model that maximizes content reuse and content interoperability where documentation published by one manufacturer can be readily incorporated into that of another manufacturer, a channel partner, or an approved third party.

"The Gilbane Conference program has emerged as one of the industry's premier events on content management technologies covering Web and enterprise content management applications," said Dan Ortega, vice president of marketing for Astoria Software. "Our goal for the conference is straightforward. We want attendees to see and experience for themselves how they can improve and streamline global product documentation processes with DITA and gain an unfair advantage over the competition."

The Gilbane Conference San Francisco is the premier content management event for business and technology decision makers looking for strategic, technical and market opportunities in the rapidly evolving field of dynamic content management. Attendees will learn how to apply the right technologies to their business applications from experienced content management practitioners, consultants, and technologists.

LISA Forum USA will be held in conjunction with The Gilbane Conference San Francisco. LISA, the Localization Industry Standards Association, is the leading international forum for organizations doing business globally. The LISA Forum is focused on managing content globally.
