CMSers!
Does anybody has a comment on this:?
Ann Rocklay’s "Managing Enterprise Content", chapter "Fundamental concepts
of reuse" explains exactly how my client would like to reuse content within
its Enterprise Document Management System (EDM). For opportunistic reusing
he wants to work with Word 2003 since this is the enterprise standard.
I was exploring the marked for products, plugins or SDK’s enabling the usage
of Word as a document composer.
Since document composing is a very common and basic task within EDM, most of
the vendors declare that they can do this, even with the usage of Word. A
closer look reveals: none of them can do it!
That surprises me. Word is probably the most widely used editing front end
and the methods of reuse, described in Ann’s book are crucial within
authoring complex documents. Is there no marked for this? Are there no EDM
products using Word as editing and composing tool this way?
Thanks for all inputs!
Mirko
