Converting to DITA can be a difficult and time-consuming process—if you do it the hard way. Extreme Networks converted content 3 years ago, but quickly learned there is an easier, faster, and less expensive way.

Through practical tips and cautionary tales, Christina will help you set up a plan for a successful DITA conversion.

Migrate provides greater control over conversion quality, immediate turnaround times and operates on a low-cost, pay-as-you-use basis. It can scale from a single document to hundreds of documents, and has been used to convert more than 1 million pages of content to DITA by customers including IBM, Cisco, Extreme Networks, TIBCO, Micron, Intel, Atmel and ACI Worldwide.
