Do clink the link and follow up on the CNN Money article. Our own Kit Brown-Hoekstra was the first to comment on the CNN Money site, explaining what technical communicators do and plugging the STC! Yea Kit!
The Aberdeen Group recently released a report, Technical Communications as a Profit Center. The article is freely available until November 27, 2009. (The only cost to you is your email address!)
Note: I’m not affiliated with the AG, or Adobe and JustSystems, this report’s sponsors. I think one of the ways we add value as TechComs is to prove that we can generate revenue as well as reduce support costs.
To follow up: The report is in Flash Paper format. I printed it to PDF for offline reading. Yes. I was surprised too.
Thanks for the link, Tony. Great paper, and I hope it helps to get me a paying job. That Flashpaper format took some fiddling to convert. Pretty weird distro!
