I have a client who is preparing for a major localization effort for their online help & printed/PDF documentation. The existing docs are in Word (yes, I know) and the help is done with RoboHelp. Their lead tech writer, who handles the docs, is completely sold on our recommendation that they take this opportunity to convert to a single-source workflow, but he's getting a lot of skepticism from the Help developers. He is currently working on converting the Word docs to Frame & is looking at Madcap Flare to create the help.
We're working together to address the help developers' concerns and to sell their financial people on the long-term benefit of the large initial cost in time & effort to consolidate the docs & help. He is very interested in talking to anyone who is working in a single-source model and/or who has made such a transition. If you are willing to share your experience or if you know of any relevant case studies, please let me know so I can put you in touch with my client. Any insight you are willing to share will be greatly appreciated.
