atw: New Software for Documentation Department

Hello Everyone,

I have just started as a technical writer with an electronic navigation 
company in Auckland. This is a new position in the company and I have been 
asked what software I need.

This is probably a one time opportunity to get the the right software for the 
job instead of having to make do with what's available.

The general manager is keen on developing new ways of delivering 
documentation via their internet and intranet sites. Most of the documents 
will be traditional installation, operator and maintenance manuals, plus 
brochure style data sheets, but they are also looking at ways to deliver 
training programs as well as putting together sales and marketing brochures.

I have been looking at the AuthorIT website, but am not sure if this is any 
good for traditional DTP style documents like brochures. From what I'm 
reading on this and other forums and websites, I think single sourcing is the 
way to go, though I don't have any experience in this area yet.

Does anyone have any thoughts on AuthorIT as a do all package, or any other 
packages that can handle the above? Also is there any recommended training or 
books available on single sourcing and delivering documents in a web page 
format?

Looking forward to some interesting replies.

Regards
John Bennett
