Author-it 5.0

Author-it Software Corporation announced the introduction of Author-it 5.0, a content management system to include interactive authoring memory. This memory product feature will be known as Author-it Xtend. Author-it Xtend provides a method for the reuse and sharing of content and knowledge within an organization. Using intelligent "fuzzy logic" matching, this new feature makes all of the approved knowledge/content contained in a company’s database available to content creators. Once a user begins typing, matching or similar content is located and returned even if the user is unaware that the content exists. Suggestions can be revealed in as few as three words and in a fraction of a second. Users can choose to instantly insert any of the suggestions, see what documents those suggestions currently appear in, or continue typing to refine the suggestions. Options controlling the behavior of the suggestions make it as unobtrusive, or as conspicuous, as the user chooses. Content can be restricted based on the company's security restrictions. Author-it 5.0 has the look and feel of "Office 12" - the 2007 version of Microsoft Office. New publishing profiles and templates improve the ability to customize and publish print, online help, and Web-based outputs. Author-it 5.0 will run on Windows Servers and Windows-based PC's. Current Author-it users who have maintenance agreements will get an automatic upgrade to Author-it 5.0. Author-it 5.0 is available direct through the Author-it Web site. http://www.authorit.com
