Company's Structured Authoring Solution Brings Structured Authoring to the Masses

NEW YORK -- JustSystems, the largest independent software vendor in Japan and a worldwide leader in XML and information management technologies, today announced that XMetaL, the company's XML-based software for structured authoring and content collaboration, has been selected as a 2008 KMWorld Trend-Setting Product.

The leading information provider serving the Knowledge Management systems market, KMWorld assembled its sixth annual list based on feedback from editorial colleagues, analysts, integrators, and users about products that represent the best research and development of solutions for nearly every organization and industry.

"This year's edition of the KMWorld Trend-Setting Product list has been compiled through briefings with vendors themselves, along with conversations with analysts, users and system integrators," said Hugh McKellar, KMWorld editor-in-chief. "Our mission selecting this year's products has been deceptively simple: select those that deliver robust customer value."

Aaron Deitcher, vice president of North America and EMEA for JustSystems, said, "In large part, the KMWorld list recognizes companies that listen to and serve their customers. Our customers and the market at large are telling us they want to break structured authoring out of its traditional, tech pubs pigeon hole. They want to leverage speed, cost, quality, and reuse advantages of structured authoring across the entire organization. And that's exactly what XMetaL software does."

XMetaL helps organizations dramatically improve the quality and consistency of product and technical documentation, policies, procedures and other published content, while improving reuse and reducing the time and cost of creation, localization and maintenance. Using industry standards including DITA, XMetaL enables content creators to efficiently create, collaborate, and reuse information that can be repurposed into the languages and formats demanded by organizations' end-user customers. Used standalone, or integrated with any of several leading content management and publishing systems, XMetaL can be used by writers and reviewers even without XML knowledge.
