[TCP] Day Communique
Hello, Today I received a call from a recruiter who offered me a desirable position. One wrinkle, the client uses a German-based web content management system called Day Communiqué. I have never run across this software or know anyone who has. I have used AuthorIT for web and online help content management and I hope they are similar. The Day website is not very helpful in its description of the product. Has anyone used Day Communiqué? If so, any information/impressions you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

http://www.day.com/site/en/index.html Looks like a neat product. I imagine it's very similar to any other CMS, so you're plenty qualified. --- Gary Robinson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: One wrinkle, the client uses a German-based web content management system called Day Communiqué.

Re: [TCP] Day Communique
We have Day Communique being used for our corporate website. I guess the marketing people are happy with it - more or less. There have been some bumps, but whether it was Day's issue, or the implementation team, I can't say for sure. We looked at using it for managing our technical docs as well, but it is not really structured (or wasn't a year ago) to handle a tech docs setup. In fact, I was told by a former Day employee that it is *not* a good program for managing technical publications (at least in the standard configuration). That said, I'm sure it can be used -- I'm guessing the company you're talking with may have some customization in their setup that makes it work for them. These are my opinions and impressions, and in no way reflect how my company's viewpoints. Nor have I actually *used* Day in any way. -Carla - CONFIDENTIAL- This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential, and may also be legally privileged.

Gary, I don't know if you saw http://www.day.com/site/en/index.html, which I found with a simple search. I don't have time to delve into it in detail, but it looked promising -- especially the evaluation download. Dori Green __ Author Help files and create printed documentation with Doc-To-Help.

Re: [TCP] Day Communique
I think it is used primarily for Web sites. Our organization is using Cascade for Web content management, but we are still using AIT for docs. ...sue On 8/15/07, Martinek, Carla [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We have Day Communique being used for our corporate website.
