SDL is a strong evangelist of DITA, an important XML standard for the writing and publishing of technical information. DITA (Darwin Information Typing Architecture) is one important flavor of XML that is designed for managing technical information in reusable topics or components which are stored as XML. Adoption of DITA has increased dramatically in the past several years, as global businesses are achieving as much as 30-50% savings in content production and translation costs. It also provides a foundation for greater customer satisfaction and faster time to global markets.
SDL has helped support the adoption of this important technical writing standard for nearly a decade and a large number of global companies have turned to SDL for help moving to DITA, as well as for technology to support DITA usage.
