This past week, 4 content products created and driven by your Configuration Manager writing and SDK teams received awards in the annual content competition sponsored by the Society for Technical Communication (STC) - Puget Sound Chapter.


STC is an international organization whose mission is to advance the theory and practice of technical communication across all user abilities and media so that both businesses and customers benefit from safe, appropriate, and effective use of products, information, and services. Its members include technical writers and editors, content developers, documentation specialists, technical illustrators, instructional designers, academics, information architects, usability and human factors professionals, visual designers, Web designers and developers, and translators - anyone whose work makes technical information available to those who need it.
