The New World of Offshoring and Automation --McIlroy

What's Being Used

Much of this work is completed using QuarkXPress, building pages with stylesheets and lots of manual intervention. Some firms use Kytek's Autopage to automate a portion of the Quark workflow. There are also a few "high-end" composition systems still on the market, notably XyEnterprise and 3B2. Adobe's FrameMaker, along with add-ons such as Datazone's Miramo, is used for much of the published technical documentation, whether created in-house or through outside services.
