Ensemble – Authoring/Content Management
We offer flexible authoring solutions that accommodate diverse content and authoring needs. A standards-compliant, browser-based interface is available to enable content creators the ability to easily create, manage, reuse, and publish. This provides obvious benefits to global or geographically diverse organizations and presents users with an industry-familiar tool that requires no specific software installation at the desktop. Another compelling strength is the provision to author, edit, and reuse XML objects without the knowledge of XML technologies. This lets authors focus on what they do best – content creation and lets the system do the rest. This ensures better accuracy, proper validation, faster turnaround, and consistent styling and formatting.
Another key differentiator is the ability to manage, transform, and empower graphics in ways that make sense to the development, delivery, and product support functions. We allow native format support in the CMS and transformations that fit the deployment profile or media. Our environment fully exploits the power of interactive graphics and allows you to find and reuse graphical information across the full spectrum of the product support activity.
The authoring component is highly versatile in design and presentation due to its flexible templating and design control system. This allows integration of specific branding and design elements to provide a consistent look and feel to the user.
Similar thin client distributions, native XML editor or third-party authoring tool integrations are available as well.
