"Take topic-based authoring to the next level."

You know that topic-based authoring allows your staff to write smaller pieces of content for multiple deliverables. Most modern tools support this smarter content development strategy.

Managing all these content pieces adds extra overhead that your department doesn't have. It's not enough to write smaller - you need to manage your content, too.

That's the advantage of Author-it.

Author-it lets your staff write, manage, and publish your content to all the deliverables you need. If you're localizing your content, you can send it out when each piece is ready, significantly reducing localization costs for your manuals and online help.

Additionally, you can manage your content, making sure new content isn't published until it's ready. Author once, and create many different outputs - help, PDF, DITA, printed documents - easily and quickly.

Author content once, anyone can use it, in any form

Reuse any content from your organization's publications. Change a paragraph, a graphic - anything - and instantly that change is reflected in every document using that content. Easily see where that content is used, reducing inaccurate information.

Within Author-it's unique single-source environment, one tool delivers professional results to a range of outputs. Deliver the right information in the right deliverable with the click of a button.

Author-it's template system eliminates formatting documents, freeing authors to focus more time on the content. Using Author-it's secure collaborative environment, authors and publishers can edit and maintain documents without duplication or version control issues.
