Collaborate. Manage. Reuse. Translate. Publish. All on one platform. Author-it is a true and complete Component Content Management System (CCMS) for the creation, management, localization, and publishing of a wide variety of information products. Single sourcing is the core of Author-it, and with loads of functionality like multi-channel publishing, variant management, review and approval workflows, and authoring assistance, we offer a collaborative solution capable of dealing with the needs of any organization, from SMBs to Enterprise. Unlike DITA and XML solutions, Author-it makes importing and authoring content a snap. And with no coding expertise required, collaborating in real time with SMEs and non-technical writers breaks down silos and increases productivity. Manage large content libraries easily without losing control, create modern, personalized courses, reuse and translate content without leaving the platform, and publish to multiple outputs, including HTML5, mobile, PDF, print and more. Save time and eliminate content chaos with Author-it.
