Options for creating documentation for OEM products
Subject:Options for creating documentation for OEM products From:"audrey wehba" <audreywe -at- hotmail -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Wed, 09 May 2001 20:38:41
If your company sells its product both to OEMs under the OEM's brand and to
other entities under the company's own brand, how are you handling the
documentation?
Do you rebrand and repackage it for the OEMs or do they do it themselves?
Or do you do something else?
Do you have any responsibility for the documentation once you hand off to
the OEM? If so, to what extent?
Is there a need to track their changes?
If repackaging, how are you accomplishing this: do you maintain separate
source or do you single source and conditionally tag vendor-specific
content?
Thanks much.
