DITA Storm Enterprise

DITA editor within a complete management system

Comprehensive management solution with an easy-to-use, intuitive DITA editor supports the document lifecycle from creation to final delivery. The system is designed to manage technical documentation specific to the DITA standard.

Author DITA content in an intuitive, context-sensitive environment utilizing WYSIWYG editing, publish from a single source, and manage all of your DITA content in one central location. Additionally, Enterprise features full version control, check-in and check-out, as well as unique DITA features to increase efficiencies across your department.

A powerful library system enhances the accessibility and custom organization of documents, while supporting full version control and check-in and check-out. Streamlining operations has never been easier with Enterprise’s centralized Inmedius Dashboard, making the complete DITA document manufacturing process transparent with quantitative metrics. A flexible reporting engine provides users with a quick and efficient means to retrieve data and output the designated information for analysis and distribution.

Users gain insight into the key components of the DITA documentation process through Enterprise’s unique integration with Microsoft® Project and Excel. Schedules are defined and maintained within the system through its powerful integration with Microsoft® Project. All documents are assigned a start and end date. Enterprise then tracks each document against the schedule and those that do not remain within the parameters are flagged for quick corrective action. Additionally, robust integration with Microsoft® Excel allows costs to be examined and analyzed through custom, user defined spreadsheets. Users seize control of expenditures by automatically tracking and calculating costs on an ongoing basis.
