Scriptorium Publishing provides expert advice on how to develop, deploy, and manage content.

Analysis

Many customers come to us because their current workflows cannot evolve to meet their increasingly complex requirements. We work with each client to perform a content lifecycle analysis and to develop lists of requirements and constraints. Based on the requirements, we can then make appropriate recommendations. Our analysis work can be a precursor to a full implementation.

Implementation

In close collaboration with our customers, we choose, configure, and deploy content publishing systems. Components of these systems may include content management, automated builds, localization, change management, and more. Our philosophy is to automate as much as possible so that authors can focus on writing content.

We have affiliations with software vendors, but we do not resell software. Therefore, we are free to recommend the tools that best match each customer’s requirements.

Training

Knowledge transfer is key to a successful implementation, so most of our projects include customized training. We demonstrate how to use tools, and we also explain best practices. In many cases, we provide author-level training to the entire organization and then offer developer-level training to a small group that will take over maintenance of the system.

We also offer standalone public and private classes.

Content development services

Most of our consulting projects include document deliverables, which include preliminary analysis, requirements, and technical documentation. We also provide technical writing and editing as standalone services to customers who need those resources.

Document conversion

When you change your content development workflow, you often end up with “legacy” content — information developed in the old process. Our document conversion services focus on automation to minimize the costs of updating legacy content to the new process.
