"Real Life" Migration to Structured Doc

[Spreadbury, David]

I can't answer in regards to Epic. It has been touted as an expensive
solution, but viable.

You mail mentions "...depending on price tag." , so I take it money is
an issue.

Take a look at Scriptorium (http://www.scriptorium.com/). Sarah O'Keefe,
and her associate Sheila Loring, literally, wrote the book (The Complete
Reference: FrameMaker 7). They provide both training and consulting in
the use of FrameMaker, structured or unstructured.

We are still trying to decide which direction to take toward structuring
our document collection.  About two months ago, I posed a question to
FrameUsers requesting opinions on the best approach for migrating to
structure and received much valuable feedback.

I have been researching the possibility of using a company that provides
training coupled with consulting.  Consulting and training are
multi-leveled, depending on the price tag.  Due to financial
constraints, I am ambivalent about committing to a tack that may not
enable us to become self-sufficient.  However, I am still open to it.

In my search for the best approach, Arbortext's Epic Editor came up as a
possible solution.  Epic seems fairly robust, but I would like feedback
on "real life" experiences/opinions from anyone who has used Epic to
migrate Frame documents to structure.  I am interested in hearing about
your experiences with the product as well as support issues--Frame
issues.  I am also interested in experiences with the more traditional
Frame-to-structure, training/consulting companies.

...opinions and experiences, good or bad.

Thank you,
Dominick
