Presentation delivered at the LavaCon 2012 conference in Portland, OR. Brent Murphy of Hewlett-Packard will share their experience regarding the value proposition of implementing and utilizing a CMS to manage technical documentation for a global audience. Starting in 2001, HP and Vasont Systems began a journey to implement a component content management solution within HP that would meet their global technical documentation requirements while adding value back to the company. Brent will explore the value propositions that were put forth when the project began and share what value propositions have been realized over the past ten years. In addition, he will also examine and share those value propositions that exist today and how companies who utilize a CMS can benefit from these opportunities.

23. What are the benefits of XML?
XML separates content from output form, so the same
content can be applied to different outputs such as PDFs,
HTML, help files, and more!

24. What is XML?
eXtensible Markup Language:
• Is a markup language that places identification and
structure on content.
• Consists of intermingled character data and markup.
• Is similar to HTML, except that XML tags and structure do
not conform to a universal standard. They can be defined
according to the needs of the organization.
