“Author-it has allowed us to build more than two weeks into our three-month production schedule that we did not have before. The greatest achievement?

Working with Author-it and FastHelp to Create Windows Mobile Help in a Single-Source Environment. Presented by Sue Heim, PGP Corporation, San Diego, California
