Dx4 Benefits

SET YOUR CONTENT FREE

Dx4 Structured Authoring for Regulated Industries.

Dx4 is a structured authoring and management solution that makes it easy for organizations to create, manage, deliver and re-use important content, while enabling them to publish it anywhere, consistently, in the format you need for your readers. By adding structure to content development, organizations can standardize information throughout the business, increasing document quality and decreasing costs as well as review and approval time significantly. 

Dx4 extends the Microsoft SharePoint platform to help organizations standardize their content creation. Information developed and presented using DITA standards can also speed submissions and reviews as the regulatory body becomes accustom to the consistency and structure of an organization’s documents. This unique construction process enables authors to ensure consistency of message to better meet the needs of regulatory authorities from the start, allowing companies to produce the right documents in less time. Your content creators can finally free their content so that it is discoverable and reusable.

Simplify

If “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication,” then creating a single source of truth for content that is highly discoverable, infinitely re-usable and easy for end-users is Dx4. One of our core values is to “Keep it Simple” by developing robust solutions that keep simplicity at the core of design.

Beyond static content creation

With Dx4, authors don’t create one document at a time. They create pieces of information called topics that are brought together using document maps. As needs change, new maps are developed that bring corresponding topics together for publishing, ensuring that documents are consistent and up to date – without having to start over with authoring and approval processes.

Authors, authors everywhere

Multiple authors from cross-organizational departments can not only contribute to a single document, but their topics can be re-used as needed in other documents. Dx4 also enables true parallel authoring since multiple authors can be working within various topics at the same time dramatically increasing productivity.
