JustSystems to Introduce Dynamic Documents at Content Convergence and Integration 2008

VANCOUVER, British Columbia & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--JustSystems, Inc., the largest independent software vendor in Japan and a worldwide leader in XML and information management technologies, today announced it will introduce its “document-as-application” vision and dynamic documents at Content Convergence and Integration 2008 to be held March 12 – 14, 2008, at the Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre in Vancouver. A gold sponsor of the show, JustSystems will be speaking as well as exhibiting.

In “Understanding and Communicating the Financial Impact of XML & DITA,” Amber Swope, principal consultant for JustSystems, will discuss how using XML and DITA for documentation and publishing drive dramatic productivity and cost-savings benefits, as well as revenue enhancement opportunities. Attendees will learn how to create a compelling business case for XML and DITA projects, providing the basis for ensuring management buy-in. Wednesday, March 12, 10:00 a.m.

In “Bring Documents to Life: Transform How Information is Shared, Consumed and Utilized with Dynamic Documents,” Swope will cover the challenges and solutions to document-centric processes. Today, key documents to business operations, such as policies, procedures, and technical manuals, are published as static artifacts and are just a snapshot in time. Dynamic documents allow organizations to bring together structured and unstructured information from across the enterprise in a document that comes to life. Wednesday, March 12, 3:00 p.m.

Converging on Dynamic Documents

On the show floor, JustSystems will promote “the document as the application,” its unique vision for the future of information creation, collaboration, and delivery. This vision blurs the lines between traditional documents, which provide rich context, persistence and portability; and business applications, which provide live data and an interactive user experience. The result is a dynamic document that comes to life with diverse and distributed information sources that are always up to date.

Based on JustSystems’ XMetaL and xfy (pronounced “x-fie”) product lines, dynamic document capabilities have transformative potential for document-centric business processes in financial services, manufacturing, life sciences, and other industries where data constantly changes, and where working with out-of-date and out-of-context information carries a high price.
