Description

Most content teams are drowning in documents - not because they lack writers, but because their tools weren't built for the scale, complexity, or compliance demands they're actually working under. Author-it was. For over 25 years, Author-it has been the CCMS of choice for organisations where documentation accuracy isn't optional. Manufacturing teams managing hundreds of product variants across 20+ languages. Software companies decoupling their help content from product release cycles. Utilities teams where a procedure gap isn't a typo problem - it's a regulatory one. The core architecture is built around component content: Topics (individual content units), assembled into Books (deliverables), stored in a central Library. Write once, publish everywhere - to HTML5, PDF, Word, SCORM/eLearning, XML, DITA, and AION, Author-it's structured JSON format built specifically for LLM and RAG pipeline consumption. This is the AI Content Foundation angle: your structured content, already tagged, already resolved, already formatted for machine ingestion. Built-in modules cover the full content lifecycle: structured authoring (no DITA or XML expertise required), translation workflow management with XLIFF export, multi-stage Review & Approve with full audit trails, variant and conditional content management, and publishing to multiple simultaneous output formats. Customer outcomes include $3M+ annual savings and 60–70% content reuse in global manufacturing, $2M+ savings and 90% reuse in enterprise software, and ISO/508 compliance achieved unlocking government procurement. Author-it is cloud-hosted SaaS, headquartered in New Zealand, with offices in Seattle and the Netherlands. Pricing: Contact for pricing @ author-it.com
