XMetaL Author Enterprise 5.5

The solution for consistently higher-value, timely global content that creates loyal customers and efficient, compliant business processes.

XMetaL Author Enterprise helps you get to market faster by bringing structure and automation to the process of content creation. Using XML standards such as the Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA), XMetaL enables authors and contributors to collaborate effectively—and to repurpose higher-value information products into the myriad of languages and formats your customers demand.

When you facilitate the sharing and reuse of content across the enterprise, you improve content quality, increase staff efficiency, reduce publishing costs and ensure compliance with regulatory standards.

Used standalone or integrated with virtually any content management system, XMetaL helps even non-technical writers to create and collaborate on reusable content without needing to be proficient in XML—and ensures that the process of content creation contributes to the timely market release of products worldwide.
