DITA authoring at IBM: All of the power—none of the pain
Mike Iantosca, IBM and Patrick Baker, Stilo April 2019
"For most subject matter experts, authoring rich semantic content is considered too difficult. The prospect of learning DITA is something they have little or no tolerance for, they typically want to continue authoring in Word, or a Word-like authoring environment, and understandably don’t want to learn about XML.
This was the problem faced by the central ID Tools team at IBM—led by Mike Iantosca. With more than 5 million DITA topics and thousands of content contributors, they needed a low-cost, easy-to-use structured authoring tool that would win over the occasional contributors without compromising on structure – so they collaborated with Stilo on the development of AuthorBridge.
Join us for this session to learn from Mike about the implementation of AuthorBridge at IBM—he’ll touch on the integration with their CCMS and how users were able to virtually walk-up and use with minimal training, as well as the wider business benefits for intelligent content authoring.
Stilo’s Patrick Baker will follow-on from Mike to provide a live demonstration of AuthorBridge and talk about the unique architecture that makes all the above possible, as well as highlight significant new features for 2019."
Although the share price is at the bottom of its 10 year trading range and whilst the BOD issued a rather cautionary AGM statement ,it is safe to say that Migrate and AuthorBridge are making inroads into the market place.
The Rapid Prototyping Program combines validated content management technology from Astoria Software, process automation technology from TransPerfect, critical conversion technology from Stilo and information development services from leading consultant Mekon."
With "TransPerfect’s Rapid Prototyping Program now enabling device makers to build an evidence-based business case for management approval."(July 18th 2019)
"Industry-wide, the cost of implementing the EU’s new MDR and IVDR requirements is estimated at nearly $20 billion. A significant portion of that cost is due to new content requirements. Says TransPerfect MDS President Marc Miller, “Two critical areas affected by MDR and IVDR are labeling – including translations – and post-market surveillance. The new regulations will create a substantial, permanent increase in the volume and velocity of content in both of these areas. The only practical way to address this increase is through automation and AI.”
The Transperfect collaboration swiftly followed on from Componize Software and Stilo International announcing their partnership and product integration where "AuthorBridge offers an optimal authoring experience for SMEs, and integrates perfectly with Componize’s CCMS".
ALSO,Stilo has recently announced(without any fanfare)maiden contracts with both Intel and Visa !
It is exceedingly reassuring that Mike Iantosca, leader of IBM's central ID Tools team, continues in 2019 to oversee the implementation and integration of AuthorBridge thus enabling their CCMS users with the ability to virtually walk-up and use with minimal training, as well as providing the wider business benefits for intelligent content authoring.
It is also worth noting that, irrespective of the current waves of negativity,Chairman David Ashman stated in the Prelims, released in March,that we, "look forward to growing future sales, supported by healthy cash reserves and a strong balance sheet".
INTERESTING
There you go
Like a coiled spring ready to pop. They have no stock and any trades paying a premium
MMs really don't want buyers
L2 looking strong
Opened it up now and bidding for stock
No online quote available
Premium paid on the last buy
Free float is minimal and can only get a quote for up to 50K
4p was the high over the last year.
Bit of stock available here. Could be top of the leader board at this rate.
Still have to place a negotiated trade for stock
Just cannot pick up stock as everything is NT
Looks like it may go higher
Seem to want full offer now
They pay a dividend currently yielding 12%
Bit of buying activity so far. Stock is quite tightly held so does move quickly.
First large buy in a while here
I sold out when the shares spiked and then decided to buy back in so I'm happy to hold. Did the same with Inspired Energy although they are showing a loss at present and Tavistock. Missed Tern, sold at 13.7p only to watch them hit 57p?. Bought back in at 34p. Stilo is a well balanced firm with a good steady management . I'm surprised peole that don't like them just sell out and move on. I've lost money on RM2, Premier Foods, Circle Oil, but best to put it behind you and move on.
Have you sold your remaining holding in STL yet ?
A spread of only 33% is very, very good for Stilo International. It is normally higher than this. Like the last 20 years or so it is again on its way backwards for the next 2 to 3 years at least. Massive contracts will not be renewed and nothing in place to fill the huge gap of a £350,000 shortfall. It fell nearly 25% yesterday and has since recovered. The Chairman will continue to by for many years to come like normal but in terms of Stilo there will be very little progress for the next 2 to 3 years. Currently they are in reverse gear again. The share price will fluctuate up and down massively on buys and sells but its been around these low levels for 15 to 20 years for a reason. I for one do not see any movement in terms of progress for 2 to 3 years at least. That's only when they are able to fill the huge gap in revenues that they will be losing in 2018. That's just for starters. The wait will continue for some time yet. Read the annual reports for the last 20 years or so and you will see why.
