JustSystems XMetaL Turns Ten

Structured Content Authoring Tool Continues to Lead the Industry and Provide Value throughout Enterprise Organizations

NEW YORK and VANCOUVER — June 30, 2009 — JustSystems, the largest independent software vendor in Japan and a worldwide leader in XML and information management technologies, today announced that its flagship product, XMetaL, has been enabling customers to streamline structured authoring processes for ten years. First introduced in June 1999, XMetaL has proven to provide value throughout enterprise organizations — bringing information materials to market faster, improving quality and accuracy of content across the global enterprise, increasing staff efficiency by leveraging content reuse, and reducing publishing costs.

XMetaL is an XML-based software for structured authoring and content collaboration that provides structure and automation for managing high volumes of valuable content. Using industry standards including Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA), XMetaL enables content creators to efficiently create, collaborate, and reuse information that can be repurposed into the languages and formats customers demand. Used standalone, or integrated with any of several leading partner content management and publishing systems like EMC’s Documentum, IBM’s FileNet and Microsoft’s SharePoint, XMetaL can be easily used by writers and reviewers without requiring any knowledge of XML.

XMetaL continues to lead the structured authoring industry by supporting enterprise customers worldwide including companies like Continental Airlines, Bosch and Renault Trucks. Because of XMetaL’s inherent flexibility and collaborative nature, customer implementations tend to go beyond the traditional technical documentation departments to include marketing, human resources, legal, finance, etc., and in many cases, XMetaL has become the enterprise-wide standard for structured authoring.

“XMetaL has been one of the industry’s top choices for the last ten years because customers can easily achieve a measurable return on investment as a result of their XMetaL implementation,” said Aaron Deitcher, vice president of North America and EMEA for JustSystems. “We have a lot of experience guiding our customers on structured authoring best practices, and we are dedicated to continuing to drive this tradition forward so that our customers can remain steps ahead of the competition when it comes to information delivery.”
