FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Indianapolis, IN – 11 Jan 2007 – ThirtySix Software, LLC today announced
the availability of SmartDocs Standard Edition. The first in a suite of products,
SmartDocs adds powerful content management and reuse capabilities to Microsoft Word
previously only available in high-end and costly XML authoring solutions.
The Difficulty of Managing Content
If your organization is like most, nearly 80% of your content is unstructured. Your
important business information is spread across documents on hard drives, LAN areas
and web sites throughout your company.
As a result, creating and maintaining documentation within your organization can
be a significant challenge. Authoring new content is often redundant and inefficient.
Existing documentation often contains inconsistent or out-of-date information and
documentation updates require manual processes that are time consuming and error
prone.
As the size and demands on your organization grow, so does your need to develop
and manage content more effectively. In order to stay ahead of your competition,
you need a smarter way of working.
Introducing SmartDocs Standard Edition
Empower your content authors with SmartDocs – an easy-to-use, powerful authoring
solution that makes writing and reusing your organization's content easy and efficient.
SmartDocs Standard Edition integrates the benefits of content reuse directly into
your Microsoft Word authoring environment, bringing the benefits of reuse to your
authors while minimizing the costs associated with implementation, training, and
user acceptance.
Using SmartDocs, your organization can take advantage of a variety of powerful content
reuse techniques to streamline the creation and modification of your documentation.
For example, authors can utilize reusable text to reduce your organization's reliance
on the inefficient and error prone task of using search-and-replace to update commonly
used text. In addition, authors can take advantage of conditional text to author
multiple variations of content within a single document, resulting in a reduction
in the amount of documentation your organization needs to manage.
SmartDocs Standard Edition is the first step in taking control of your unstructured
content and optimizing your organization's documentation processes. Empower your
content authors with the benefits of content reuse today!.
