RoboHelp 6

[Fred Ridder]

Finding a contractor or a service bureau that has a version of RoboHelp that can open and update your existing project should not be very difficult. And if the required updates are well defined, the cost of hiring out the job should not be very great, either. Dealing with a *one-time* upgrade of a legacy project in-house can often wind up being much more expensive than jobbing out in the long run than because of all the time that goes into cobbling together the tools to deal with the project. The in-house approach only has a cost advantage if this project (or similar projects) will need ongoing maintenance and upgrades.
