A properly implemented content reuse strategy will make a big impact on any technology company’s bottom line; and for many companies, the right reuse strategy revolves around DITA implementation.
Companies worldwide are realizing that content reuse is the linchpin that takes DITA from a ‘nice idea’ to major cost savings for the organization. While the DITA structure itself provides data management and technical publications flexibility, content reuse is the key to dramatically reducing the time, effort and cost required to create and publish technical documents.
A DITA-compliant document segregates content into topics which, once created, can be used in multiple instances within the documentation set (whether it is a single publication or an entire library).
No matter the level or the scale of your company’s DITA implementation process — whether you’re evaluating, ramping up your efforts, or making the push to close out your conversion program — JANA’s experts can assist you.

DITA vs. S1000D
DITA is similar in many respects to the S1000D construct used in military and commercial aerospace applications. However, DITA is much simpler to implement and utilize.
JANA has decades of experience in helping companies of all sizes to improve their bottom line by implementing structured data strategies and methodologies, with extensive experience using both DITA and S1000D.
