JustSystems Aims to Empower All with XML Authoring Tool

Big time Japan-based software vendor JustSystems is working hard to get everyone on the same page. Their latest release, XMetaL Author Essential, lets content creators generate content that can easily be repurposed into different languages and formats for multi-channel publishing.

Really, It's For Everyone

With not just different languages in mind but different levels of tech savvy as well, JustSystems enables their partners and customers to combine XMetaL Author Essential with the content management and publishing system of their choice.

The result is a solution that can be used by writers and reviewers even without XML knowledge. Additionally, XMetaL Author Essential can be customized for use with any DTD or Schema.

“XMetaL helps organizations get to market faster with information products by bringing structure to managing high volumes of valuable content,” said Aaron Deitcher, vice president of North America and EMEA for JustSystems. “XMetaL Author Essential extends those advantages to our European partners, who are looking for best-of-breed XML authoring software to integrate with the solutions they are bringing to market, as well as large enterprise customers that want to customize and integrate their in-house systems.”
