Whether your organization sells products or offers technical services, there is always a great amount of technical publication around, either created in-house or external. It is a challenging task to keep these documents consistent and ensure companywide access to your data. A challenge, that has to be met variably according to the circumstances.

Furthermore, companies nowadays generally need efficient structures in order to use information efficiently and to transform it continuously into knowledge. Precise information must be available in complex contexts and must cover the fast-changing requirements. Efficient systems for the usage and publication of content are an elementary factor in so far as competitiveness is concerned. The configuration of a continuously functioning system for handling information comprises however much more than software solutions and information technology. It concerns particularly the company-specific creation, management and media-independent publication of documentations and content.
