January 19th Webinar Highlights the Challenges and Benefits of Single-Source,
XML-Based Publishing for Global Companies

- December 13, 2004 - The global content lifecycle™ leader, Idiom^® Technologies, Inc., today announced that it is collaborating with The Gilbane Report and Information Builders, Inc. to host a joint online event discussing the business benefits that DITA-oriented, XML publishing brings to today's global enterprises. This free event will take place on Wednesday, January 19, 2005, at 1:00 EST.

The Gilbane Report is the industry's most widely-read report on content management technologies. Gilbane's senior editor and analyst, Bill Trippe has recently published a report entitled, "Topic-Oriented Information Development and Its Role in Globalization: The Case for the Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA)," which examines how one organization, Information Builders, Inc. (IBI) is using DITA to more easily meet their global product documentation requirements. At this event, Trippe will explore how DITA and XML-based publishing has become the preferred approach for single-sourcing, which enables companies to effectively reuse and repurpose their content in mutiple formats and languages. Joining Trippe will be Frances Gambino, IBI's director of documentation services, and Idiom founder and CTO, Eric Silberstein.

Information Builders provides business intelligence and software integration tools that help organizations distribute information globally, to help employees, customers, and partners make better and faster decisions. IBI translates its offerings into 17 different languages, and has extensive experience with a variety of documentation publishing technologies.

The company's collaboration with many of the world's largest companies has provided unique insights into the most complex aspects of global single-source publishing. This insight has helped Idiom develop and deliver the world's first and only commerical DITA solution for global publishing - WorldServer OpenTopic. Mr. Silberstein was personally responsible for driving the company's DITA and XML vision.
