Take a look at your email inbox. Chances are someone has sent you a working document as an attachment because they are finished with it and now it's your turn. It's also a good bet bet that the folder containing your current project has file names like Operation-v1.doc and Operation-v2.doc. Every document goes through some kind of workflow and version control. Many companies do this using email attachments and file naming conventions. A true document management environment will include workflow and version control, but these systems are usually too costly for the small documentation shop. In this audio conference, Brian Travis will discuss the shortcomings of current document management practices, and ways to streamline and improve the process.

This audio conference will address:

• Understanding the presence of workflow in your organization
• The concept of pipeline-based workflow, and how it can streamline document production
• Why file-based version control is probably not the best way to keep versions straight
• The role of XML in document management and version control
• Various techniques used to keep track of different versions of documents
