You’ve got a lot of content. You’ve been reading about Content Management Systems (CMS) that could make your life easier but they're very expensive to buy. And when you add the costs of training, changes to your workflow, and more, it seems the benefits of a CMS are not for you.  Or they MAY be for you, but you can't decide that until after spending the money.

Help authoring tools (HATs) seem unrelated to CMSs, but HATs have gone far beyond their help roots. They offer features like repositories, version control, review management, content customization using conditionality and variables, and more.  HATs are effectively lightweight CMSs. If you need a CMS, you may find that you can use your current HAT to create test-bed CMSs or even as your actual CMS, saving a lot of money and upheaval. 

This tool-independent webinar covers the issues to consider and the hidden features you may have in your existing tools that can help. You may have everything you need to smartly manage your content.
