WebWorks News & Updates |
Quadralay on the Road Extra |
elcome to the latest issue of THE WORKS, the WebWorks.com Newsletter. The last few weeks have included some significant milestones in the continued growth and evolution of Quadralay. At the recent STC Summit in Minneapolis we officially introduced the new WebWorks.com branding and logo. The switch to "WebWorks.com - a brand of the Quadaraly Corporation" comes as a result of listening to our customers and prospects. Research showed that most of you knew, and referred to, us as WebWorks; the new branding is designed to reflect our customers' viewpoint. Over the coming months you will see a further emphasis on the new brand name.
One of the first initiatives to use the WebWorks.com branding is our partnership with the Aberdeen Group research company. WebWorks.com is one of a group of major enterprise publishing system vendors, to sponsor Aberdeen's independent research and report on Publishing Technical Communications to a Multi-Channel World. The report is essential reading for anyone interested in the latest trends and initiatives in multi-channel publishing, and I recommend that you download your free copy.
Interest in the WebWorks RoundUp Conference continues to build, with a surge in registrations over the last few weeks. If you haven't yet registered I would urge you to do so as soon as possible. Registration is now available at a discounted summer price. Don't forget recent webinar attendees and registered visitors to the WebWorks.com booth at the STC Summit can apply their discount codes, making the conference even more of a bargain.
Your Content. Your Way. Every Time.

WebWorks Webinar Series
This Month's Webinar
Last month we kicked off a new free ePublisher webinar series, and the first topic was "Context-Sensitive Help with ePublisher." Based on the registration and enthusiasm from the participants we will be continuing the series and this month our topic will be “Delivering Content to Multiple Audiences.” These webinars are designed to help ePublisher users understand concepts, best practices, and how to utilize the ePublisher platform to its fullest. During the CS webinar many excellent questions were raised and I hope answered, plus each attendee received a special gift. Please sign up for this month’s webinar and keep an eye on future webinars.

STC Summit
Thanks to all those who stopped by the WebWorks.com booth at the recent STC Summit in Minneapolis. It was great to meet and talk to so many new people, as well as be able to put faces to names when chatting with existing ePublisher users.
Response to news of the upcoming ePublisher 9.3 release and the support of DITA was very positive and resulted in several engaging and interesting conversations on how customers may take advantage of the flexibility it will offer to those migrating to producing content with the DITA architecture.
Interest in the RoundUp Conference was also strong, and we'd like to thank all those who registered for the conference mailing list.
Congratulations to our STC Summit competition winners:
