XML Best Practices: XyUser Group Meets To Share Best Practices in XML CMS And Dynamic Publishing
The XyUser Group, an independent customer forum that provides networking and educational services to users of XyEnterprise solutions, hosted their annual Spring User Conference last month in Brighton, England. This three-day conference included business updates, technology trends, product workshops, best practices, and professional and social networking opportunities.
In a combination of both formal and informal venues, XyEnterprise, customers and partners discussed business, workflow and technology trends, while reviewing XyEnterprise's latest product offerings. XyEnterprise customers lead multiple sessions including technical presentations and success stories regarding their expertise in implementing and using XyEnterprise's content management and publishing software solutions.
A highlight of the conference is the opportunity it provides to end users to exchange ideas and learn from one another. In addition, customers attend the conference to stay abreast of the latest technological trends, including important developments in XML standards, including S1000D and DITA, the Darwin Information Typing Architecture.
"The XyUser Group is more than a customer group; we consider them to be an active part of our product research team", commented Kevin Duffy, President and CEO of XyEnterprise. "These events enable customers to share their insights and offer recommendations that help us make our products better."
This year's conference also provided customers with an opportunity to share their perspective on working with XyEnterprise and the company's solutions. Long time customer Lexis-Nexis commented, "I do business with XyEnterprise because they are a forward-thinking company who responds to the needs and direction of its users." Chris Leggett of Letterpart, another long time customer/partner added, "They are always looking for the latest XML technology to be integrated into their products, as well as listening to what the users require."
Praise for XyEnterprise's XML Professional Publisher (XPP) was universal. Teemu Malmberg of Edita Prima Ltd shared this business metric, "Our customer created their product catalog with PageMaker and it took them about 2 weeks. Now we can create the same catalog with XPP in 5 minutes!" And it's not just cost savings that have won over so many clients. Sue Saunders of Columns Design had this to say, "XPP enables us to provide the fastest production times in a 24/7 environment, with no restraint on quantity or quality in a global market."
