<div style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; COLOR: #000000; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><font size="2">All,<br><br>I have been tasked with finding a way to allow SME input
directly into our publishing workflow. That is, the developers and managers
would be able to edit text and add graphics to our source files. I want to keep
FrameMaker as the publishing engine. I'm thinking a CMS would be in order,
but the company is aghast at the thought of spending more than 10K a year on
"word processing". I basically need functionality something like Author-it
that ties into Frame. I could do single-sourcing with RH (we have
TCS3.5). I'm thinking we would have 3 developers at a time who might be
using the system, plus me. That's a budget of $2500 or less per year per
user.<br><br>Can anyone point me toward some current resources here?
<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Jack DeLand</font><br></div>
