GÜTERSLOH, Germany, November 7 /PRNewswire/ -- empolis GmbH, the leading provider of information logistics solutions,
announces the upcoming launch of empolis:Content Lifecycle Suite (e:CLS) 3.2,
the latest version of its Component Content Management System. The new
release extends the leadership position of the company in the domain of
Technical Documentation. e:CLS 3.2 supports DITA, the Darwin Information
Typing Architecture, as a preconfigured solution for component-based
documentation. Customers get a quick-start package that enables them to write
and manage DITA-based documentation from day one. Some of the rich management
functions of e:CLS include metadata, linking, versions, variants,
translations, and workflow.
Robert Hawthorne, Global Technical Publication Solutions Technical
Leader, GE Healthcare, summarizes the company's experiences with e:CLS to
date: "e:CLS enables us to simply and efficiently manage our highly-modular
XML content. The addition of advanced workflow and translation management are
valuable enhancements to the platform that further improve our ability to
satisfy customer demand for complex, accurate documentation in a
highly-regulated, multi-lingual environment.". The translation management of
e:CLS enables GE Healthcare Digital Imaging to publish its hundreds of
service manuals in as many as 28 languages to support international
requirements.
In addition to DITA support, e:CLS 3.2 offers a wealth of new features
including:
- Auditing and reporting for analytics: all user interactions are logged
in an audit table that is used to report about the actual status of the
system or the use of the system in a given time frame. Managers get a
powerful and flexible auditing, reporting, and analytics tool at hand.
- Dependent metadata: logical dependencies between different metadata
vocabularies can be expressed in the configuration and are considered
dynamically. Users can assign the configured metadata combinations to content
modules. This simplifies the editing process and increases the quality of the
data.
empolis presents e:CLS 3.2 to the public at tcworld and tekom annual
conference and trade fair November 7-9, 2007 in Rhein-Main-Hallen, Wiesbaden,
Germany. Visit us at booth #942.
