What is Dakota Content Platform?

The DCP CCMS employs a native XML database, providing a versatile framework for content management that supports transformation, reuse, searching, retrieval, workflow oversight, and single-source publishing. By consolidating all XML content and digital assets into a unified repository, it maintains a single-source format that is not tied to any particular storage medium. This strategy guarantees a consistent and trustworthy source of information for all content, which allows for automatic updates to be propagated across diverse distribution channels. Known as “single-sourcing,” this concept is integral to Dakota’s approach to content management. The practice of single-sourcing not only bolsters security but also simplifies the processes involved in content creation, upkeep, and dissemination. With a centralized repository, each content element can enjoy a unique lifecycle regarding review, revision, and localization, complemented by specific policies on ownership, tagging, and version control. Furthermore, individual document components can be readily reused and distributed among various documents, which enhances collaboration and resource efficiency. This forward-thinking methodology significantly improves the uniformity and clarity in the delivery of content, ultimately resulting in a more cohesive user experience. Such an interconnected system fosters an environment where continuous improvement and innovation are possible, ensuring that content remains relevant and effective over time.

What is Author-it?

If your team is maintaining the same content across multiple documents, reformatting outputs by hand, or sending the same paragraphs back to translators every release cycle - you're paying the hidden cost of unstructured content management. Author-it solves this at the source. It's an enterprise CCMS (Component Content Management System) with over 25 years of proven deployment in industries where accuracy, compliance, and scale aren't negotiable: manufacturing, software and technology, utilities, medical devices, aerospace and defence, financial services, and government. The platform centres on a single Library - a relational content database where Topics (content components) are assembled into Books (deliverables) and published to any format from one source. Update one Topic, and every Book containing it reflects the change. No manual updates. No version drift. No missing the footnote that just changed your liability exposure. Key capabilities include structured authoring without DITA or XML expertise, component-level content reuse (customers regularly hit 60–90% reuse rates), built-in translation workflow with XLIFF export and intelligent change-tracking to reduce translator word counts, multi-stage Review & Approve with compliance audit trails, variant and conditional content for multi-product and multi-market publishing, and output to HTML5, PDF, Word, SCORM, XML, DITA, and AION. AION is Author-it's structured JSON publishing format - designed for direct ingestion by LLMs and RAG pipelines. It mirrors the full content hierarchy: books, sub-books, topics, metadata, resolved variables. This is what makes Author-it an AI Content Foundation, not just a content management tool. Your existing structured content becomes queryable, retrievable, and AI-ready without any additional transformation layer. Deployment is cloud SaaS. Implementation is services-led, with expert information architecture guidance included. Contact us @ author-it.com
