We are a publication supplier to the equipment manufacturing industry. We develop a majority of our documentation in FrameMaker. We have converted several clients to FrameMaker, and each is very satisfied with the product. A change in authoring tools is a big comittment. Unless you have extensive experience with FrameMaker, you will probably need help to make the move.

Here are some of the main benefits we see from using FrameMaker:
--single source control of commonly used information increases accuracy and reduces development and maintenance costs
--WYSIWYG environment increases author efficiency
--multichannel delivery (print, SGML, XML, PDF) reduces processing time and increases availability
--metadata in document allows interface with publishing systems
--information grandularity maximumizes content repurposing
--robust SDK facilitates development of powerful customized solutions
--consistent formatting and structure creates common corporate voice.

I am optimistic about the long-term viability of FrameMaker. Including ourselves, there are many training providers and API developers out there. The support network for FrameMaker is quite extensive.

I highly recommend a move to FrameMaker for your technical documentation needs. FrameMaker is a great tool for people in our business.

Move to Adobe FrameMaker

We are an equipment manufacturer using Quicksilver or Interleaf for
development of operator's manuals. I am trying to determine whether or
not we should move to FrameMaker.

What issues should I be aware of?

I'm looking for software with long-term stability and training and
support available.
