Currently, the FrameMaker engineering and product management teams are working on the next major release of the product and developing new features based on customer feedback. FrameMaker engineering is actively searching for new recruits.
FrameMaker sales this year have been excellent. The success of FrameMaker can be attributed in part to its adoption of emerging technologies such as XML and its positioning as a multi-channel publishing solution.
In this year alone, the FrameMaker team has attended and held more marketing events than ever, and will continue its active marketing push throughout the coming year. In the coming months, look for FrameMaker at the following conferences and trade shows: On Demand; Seybold; WinWriters Online Help Conference; Annual STC Conference; FOSE; and XML Europe 2001. You can also expect another multi-city seminar tour to happen in the May timeframe that will focus on FrameMaker and eBooks.
FrameMaker holds a unique position in the multichannel publishing market, and is poised to take advantage of the rapidly growing trends towards XML and Network Publishing. Adobe continues to be committed to these markets and to the future of the FrameMaker product line.
