Enterprise Authoring Platform

The Author-it Enterprise Authoring Platform (EAP) centralizes and streamlines the process of creating, managing and publishing formal business content.

In most organizations content creation is very distributed, using a variety of tools, saved in many formats, and stored in many different locations. This results in poor knowledge sharing, duplication of content and effort, inconsistency of message and presentation, inefficient maintenance, little or no audit trails, and high translation and localization costs.

Author-it EAP addresses these problems by providing a powerful, yet easy-to-use, collaborative authoring environment that promotes reuse of content, enforces corporate standards and security, and maintains detailed audit trails.

Content in Author-it is created and managed as small reusable components, which are assembled into documents and automatically published into any number of print, help, or web formats. Many of our clients double user productivity, and those who sell their products around the World enjoy reductions in translation cost as high as 80%.
