WHY USE SII'S SERVICE BUREAU

There are several advantages to using Softline as your document conversion
specialist:

* More cost-effective than doing the conversion in-house.

The true cost of converting a single page of document includes labor,
computing time, training, and licensing fees, as well as the intangible cost
of time for start-up and staff learning curve. Since SII has the expertise
and tools already in place, your cost and time are drastically reduced.

* Faster turnaround time

SII has the staff and infrastructure already in place, so there is only a
minimal setup time involved. Most of our professional staff have over 10
years of document converting and editing experience.
Our service bureau has the capability to convert over ten thousand pages per
day.

* Fixed cost

Once you receive a price quote from SII, the rate is guaranteed.

* Accuracy and schedule are guaranteed

SII has the reputation of delivering accurate documents while honoring your
delivery schedule.

* Technical advice and support

SII has worked with many industry-standard and custom DTDs and we are able
to provide technical advice once you get your documents back.

DITA CONVERSION

There are many companies and tools currently available for DITA conversion.
SII's solution offers the highest quality output with minimum
post-processing. The following list compares SII's solution to those of
other vendors:

* Automated conversion

SII does not employ the ?conversion table? technique used by other vendors.
Our internally developed tools provide a faster and more automated method of
converting files.

* Preserving your naming convention

An important result of conversion is that all of the XML and graphic files
meet your naming conventions. SII offers a number of algorithms for
generating file names or you can specify your own.

* File segmenting

SII can segment your input files into multiple DITA files based on your
requirements.

* Conditional text

SII converts all of your conditional text to the appropriate DITA
attributes. Our software automatically generates one or more DITAVAL files,
which record the original conditional text settings of your input documents.
Condition names are automatically converted to match the DITA standard.

* Automatic DITA Map

Our software uses your FrameMaker book files to generate one or more
(depending on your use of conditional text) DITA Maps, as well as markup to
indicate which headings are to appear in the TOC.

* DITA index markup

Our software can analyze and convert the most complex index markers in
FrameMaker and Word documents. It also automatically relocates any index
markup not allowed in DITA (such as headings).

* Hypertext markup

SII's solution converts hypertext markup to the appropriate DITA tags.
Currently, other vendors would simply drop the markup.

* Lexical analyzer for improved quality.

Based on Softline's grammar checker, the lexical analyzer will scan your
documents to ensure that the markups agree with the actual syntax of the
content. For example:

- Paragraphs that start with words such as

For example, a paragraph starting with the word ?Note:? is
converted to a  element (with the leading word ?Note:?
removed from the content, if needed.)

- Words within sentences are converted to the appropriate phrase
level markup. For example, XML markup ?click OK<./b>? would be
replaced with ?click OK?.

- Entire sections are identified for special processing. For
example, a heading with the phrase ?See Also? followed by
predominately cross references, is converted to a related links
element instead of conventional markup.

SII's lexical analyzer currently makes over 50,000 checks to
identify the best markup for a particular document. The analyzer can
also be set up with your own dictionary to perform any special
markup.
