Present a clear information experience with Zoomin.
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
At Ping, we used Zoomin primarily for technical content, but the intent was to also provide a single jump-off point for all customer information (support portal, communities, developer portal, documentation, video). The business problem addressed by Zoomin was confusion due to multiple interfaces and urls for information from 6 departments. Zoomin created a single go-to page that consolidated all platforms.
Pros
- The biggest advantage to using Zoomin is the care and loyalty of their people. No matter what occurred throughout the process, they were with us 100%.
- The Zoomin product is one of the few DITA compatible products I've seen that presents a current and professional interface.
- Zoomin's roadmap is impressive and I've actually seen first-hand that they really do make good on items on their roadmap!
Cons
- Zoomin's SalesForce integration is a must finish. It's almost there, but they haven't been able to get Salesforce to certify it.
Likelihood to Recommend
Zoomin is best suited for an organization that uses DITA or other forms of structured authoring in at least one department. The structure provided by DITA will lay the foundation for all other types of content that are imported into Zoomin.
