Scott Abel, The Content Wrangler, On Adobe Technical Communication Software, Silos Busting, And Convergence

At the Adobe Technical Communication Enterprise Summit in Boston this past October, I was asked to comment on the future of technical communication, trends in the publishing industry, the importance of Adobe software tools for technical communicators, and related topics. In this short video montage, I discuss the move to eBooks and enhanced, interactive content. I also point out the biggest challenge (as I see it) facing Adobe as they seek to serve the changing needs of the technical communication industry — departmental silos. I suggest a “convergence” of Adobe toolsets that will allow technical communicators to move their content between toolsets to assist them in meeting their goals with minimal effort.
