<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Session Abstracts</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Targeted Documentation</strong></span></p>
<div>Targeted documentation provides sufficient information for  customers to use products effectively to achieve their goals. It  embraces the tenets of minimalist documentation and is based on  thoroughly understanding your users and their needs. This type of  documentation gives specific information when and where necessary,  documents best practices, provides extensive and relevant examples, and  does not document the obvious or easily discoverable. This presentation  gives an overview of what targeted documentation is, how to create or  convert to targeted documentation libraries, and how it can help improve  the overall user experience and reduce costs.</div>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>A &#8220;Publish-As-You-Write&#8221; system for effective documentation</strong></span></p>
<div>What do you think is the efficient time frame for reviews to get  done for your documentation? If you said &#8220;after all my the authoring  gets done,&#8221; you are probably placing all your efforts on peril. Getting  reviews done at the end of the release, after all the authoring is  completed, means as the writer, you need to revisit pieces of  documentation that you did weeks and months back, to fix review  comments. The &#8220;Publish-As-You-Write&#8221; system is a simple and effective  means to avoid such fire-fighting situations that typically happens in  most of the documentation development scenarios. This presentation gives  you an idea on how a writer and the reviewers can effectively operate  parallely to automate the publishing of finished documentation pieces,  and the subsequent review comments.</div>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Platform-independent Collaborative Review</strong></span></p>
<div>As you finish authoring, get your docs reviewed using a real-time  cross-platform solution that gathers review comments from multiple  review sources and enables you to import them into your authoring  environment.</div>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Towards Cloud Nine: Roadmap for Next Generation Documentation Services Delivery Model</strong></span></p>
<div>More than just a buzzword or a set of services sitting in some  remote data center, Cloud computing is a set of philosophy and  approaches that can help organizations quickly and effectively manage  their resources in real time. Cloud computing has a promising future in  terms of getting organizations meet their computing needs quickly and  cost effectively. It is as much about the business model as it is about  the technology.<br />
A progressive documentation group can leverage the benefits of Cloud  computing model to gain competitive advantage and deliver cost-effective  and timely solutions. This presentation provides an overview of what  lies beneath the cloud for documentation team and how cloud computing  models can help meet its business targets. In this session, you will  understand the critical planning phases involved in aligning Cloud  computing model with the documentation services delivery model and get  insights on how to select the best cloud solutions for your  documentation group without compromising on the quality and compliance  front.</div>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Social media strategies for your Customer Retention</strong></span></p>
<p>This talk will discuss about the use of social media by customers in  ways that allow other potential customer to get glimpse real world  experiences of current customers with the seller&#8217;s products and  services. It will also try to investigate why customer retention is an  important business aspect for everyone. A short and interactive  presentation promised!<br />
