On the Road to Boca Raton: NCCI’s Microcontent Journey to Future-Enabled Content
In 2019, the National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI) began working with Precision Content to transform tens of thousands of pages from DocBook to DITA. The project requirements identified the need for microcontent use cases to support a complex regulatory content lifecycle, automation opportunities, and dynamic delivery needs. This case study will walk you through the novel lessons we learned.
Understanding Information Architecture
The practice of information architecture (IA) is famously tough to describe, ironic for a practice that is fundamentally about, as its pioneer Richard Saul Wurman said, “making the complex clear.”
In this paper, the Associate Information Architects at Precision Content delve into the history of information architecture, examine the current state of the practice, explore tactics for overcoming difficulties in aligning this important work with a bigger picture strategy, and discuss the role IA plays in developing content for a variety of emerging technologies.

2017 DITA Satisfaction Research Paper
The 2017 DITA Satisfaction Survey indicates that 62% of respondents using DITA are—to varying degrees—dissatisfied. As many as 10% of that group were very dissatisfied reporting that their DITA implementation is experiencing ‘big’ challenges. What’s going on? How are you feeling about your DITA solution? This research paper examines the key issues impacting DITA satisfaction to help you find the best place to start making improvements. The paper distills the issues into three major categories skills development, technology, and management. The good news is that most DITA users don’t see their problems as insurmountable. Many just need a little help getting to where they’d like to be.
