Overcoming Content Conversion Obstacles
(an interview with Avalara)

DITA conversion is part of the larger DITA adoption process, it requires significant forethought, planning, and resources on its own. There are multiple challenges in the process of converting pre-DITA content, mainly the mapping between existing content to DITA’s topic-based structure.
