SiberLogic previews SiberSafe/FrameMaker® 7.2 integration

FrameMaker® 2005 Chautauqua, Raleigh, NC - November 7, 2005 - SiberLogic, an established innovator in XML content technology, and platinum sponsor of the Chautauqua, today announces and demonstrates a new integration that offers SiberSafe functionality directly from FrameMaker® 7.2 via menus and context-sensitive commands.

The momentum for XML content authoring continues to build, and many professional authors welcome the news that FrameMaker® 7.2 includes support for XML Schema and XSL Transformations. Ideal for the creation and publication of complex and lengthy technical documentation, FrameMaker® is the authoring tool of choice for a large segment of our technical writing community. Also offering templates for the emerging DITA standard, FrameMaker® is making XML content even easier to produce and publish. Yet as the adoption of XML increases, so does the requirement for manipulation of that content.

FrameMaker® authors who need specific functionality to support their content production environment have always been able to choose from a plethora of independent plug-ins and add-ons to address their needs. But each requires ongoing and separate maintenance and upgrade, made more complex with every new release of FrameMaker®, and such administration can be costly to the production process.

Now SiberSafe, designed specifically for XML authoring teams, extends FrameMaker®'s authoring capabilities into a complete, cohesive, and cost-effective content management environment for technical documents. SiberSafe is the only product on the market today that integrates a robust XML content management system with an RDF/OWL-based semantic enablement platform, dramatically increasing the efficiency of both the content development and retrieval processes. SiberSafe enables authors to confidently replace their assortment of add-ons with a superior, full-featured CMS solution that offers:

Single-source multi-channel publishing Robust content reuse and repurposing Index term management Complex conditional inclusion Cross-reference and link management Memory-aided translation User access control Collaborative authoring Collaborative review Documentation project workflow Robust version control Full DITA support

The synergy between SiberSafe and FrameMaker® is compelling and offers real and tangible benefits to XML authoring teams. Technical documentation can be created with a familiar, highly appropriate tool, managed in an environment designed for exactly that material, and published using the best of both technologies.

Ian Lee, VP Sales & Marketing at SiberLogic, is enthusiastic: "SiberSafe has always been an excellent fit with FrameMaker®, as both products target technical documentation teams. This new integration takes the effort out of teamwork via collaborative XML authoring and editing, robust workflow tools, translation management capabilities, and browser-based collaborative review. FrameMaker® authors that are working with standards such as DocBook, DITA, S1000D, and SCORM will also appreciate the full level of support offered by SiberSafe. The FrameMaker® community continues to be very relevant to SiberLogic and we are delighted to be previewing our new integration at the Chautauqua."
