Faster, better documents are those documents that are created and used efficiently, that save you money and help you get information to those who need it quickly, with a minimum of fuss and muss.
The approach may be called single-sourcing or content reuse or repurposing. They're pretty much the same thing...a way to create content one time and use it in several different places. Why does it help you create faster, better documents? Because you
- create repeatable processes that improve the time-to-market
- reduce the number of documents you create and maintain
- increase the accuracy of the content because you're creating one source instead of several
- reduce the "per use" cost of specific content because it's used in several places
Not sure if you're a candidate for a single-sourcing solution? See is single-sourcing for me (a short questionnaire).
