Technical Brief - Streamlining Localization Processes with Altova Tools

August 26, 2008 —Rapid globalization has had a profound effect on the documentation requirements of many forward-thinking companies.

Single source publishing calls for the creation of a centralized store of content that can be accessed, reused, and deployed to a variety of different mediums.
