Join us for an insightful webinar showcasing how content can be seamlessly generated from existing data sources rather than manually crafted, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and efficiency.
This session will explore real-world examples from AMD and Fluid Topics, illustrating how automated processes turn technical data into professional, readable documentation at scale.
We’ll demonstrate:
– Automated Register Documentation: See how CPU specifications transform into organized, structured documentation, stored in a database, then delivered as HTML straight to the documentation portal.
– Hands-Free API Doc Conversion: Discover how API information is converted to DITA and integrated into CCMS to enrich comprehensive technical guides and manuals.
– Instant Release Notes Generation: Learn how JIRA-based data automatically generates release notes in sync with new versions, ensuring timely updates without human intervention.
