About

Author-it is an enterprise Component Content Management System (CCMS) with 25+ years in the structured authoring space. It helps regulated industries - manufacturing, software, utilities, aerospace, medical devices, financial services, and government - create, manage, review, translate, and publish content from a single source library. Write a topic once. Reuse it across manuals, portals, training, compliance docs, and localised outputs - automatically. No DITA required. No XML expertise needed. Author-it includes built-in translation workflow management, multi-stage review and approval, variant and conditional content, and AION - a structured JSON output format designed for direct LLM and RAG pipeline ingestion. Your content becomes your AI foundation, not just a document archive. Proven ROI: $3M+ annual savings in manufacturing, 90% content reuse in enterprise software, and compliance-ready documentation across heavily regulated environments. author-it.com
