Florida House of Representatives Streamlines Legislative Publishing with PTC Arbortext® Enterprise Publishing
PTC, the Product Development CompanyT, announced that the Florida House of Representatives has selected PTC's Arbortext solutions as part of its publishing initiative for legislative documents including calendars, journals and weekly schedules.
Drafting and approving legislation is a dynamic and complex process involving numerous parties that typically have two to three months to act on thousands of proposed bills. Because of the extreme time pressures and nature of the information, overall efficiency and accuracy are crucial. Arbortext solutions address these challenges by enabling state legislatures to create information that can be reused and repurposed. This capability streamlines the compose-review-edit-recompose workflows, supports complex composition and page layout requirements and reduces publishing time.
"State legislatures use Arbortext software to simplify the process of creating and revising legislation in order to meet increasing public access demands from their constituents," said PG Bartlett, vice president product marketing for Arbortext solutions, PTC. "Arbortext software gives legislatures the ability to publish higher-quality information automatically and on demand."
State governments currently using Arbortext enterprise publishing solutions for legislative applications include Alabama, Florida, Idaho, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas.
