Dynamic Assistance Platform

The Author-it Dynamic Assistance Platform (DAP) is all about connecting the right information to the right people at the right time. Today's business users are overwhelmed with an ever increasing volume of content. When they need help, how do they get it? Searching through so much irrelevant content takes too long, and often ends in frustration and a call to the help desk.

Author-it DAP addresses this problem by providing intelligent content that is dynamically assembled and personalized to each user’s profile and context. Personalized content can now be dynamically delivered to different audiences automatically based on role, location, access privileges and any other Active Directory criteria. Content in static websites and intranets are often too generic and miss the mark. Individuals or team members can now view information most relevant to them every time they log on.

Create personalized user assistance or help content for Windows or Web applications without the need to involve third parties or the original software developer. You can create user assistance content specific to your organizations needs with a simple drag and drop action - no coding experience required!

With Author-it DAP the information actually finds the user when the user needs it, eliminating time spent looking for content, and dramatically improving user productivity.

Web based assistance

Author-it Aspect allows for the dynamic delivery of content via a web application. The content is personalized for the person viewing it by matching information in the content with their login profile. This means that when a user views content, it is content that has been filtered for their profile.

Author-it Aspect is a key innovation and marks a major departure from static publishing formats. The dynamic content delivery engine is based on the latest web services technology and means personalized content can be delivered within applications such as corporate websites, knowledge bases and intranets as well as client portals.

  • Dynamic content delivery via the latest web services technology.
