JustSystems Ships XMetaL Author Enterprise for Microsoft SharePoint

JustSystems announced XMetaL Author Enterprise for Microsoft SharePoint, an enterprise-class content creation solution for enterprises using SharePoint as their content management system. By uniting XMetaL Author Enterprise and SharePoint, JustSystems streamlines the adoption of XML and DITA for SharePoint users, making the advantages of reusable, structured content available to the entire enterprise. Users can deliver consistent content faster by assembling reusable, topic-based DITA content in multiple deliverables. After writing a piece of content, users can check it into a SharePoint library to enable team members across the world to reuse it. A document opened with XMetaL Author Enterprise for Microsoft SharePoint is automatically checked out from SharePoint, preventing other users from making conflicting changes. After making changes, users can check the new version of the document directly back into SharePoint from the XMetaL user interface. Users can use SharePoint user management and permissions features to control who can view and/or edit content. Access control extends to individual sections, paragraphs, and phrases incorporated through the DITA content reference (conref) mechanism. XMetaL Author Enterprise for Microsoft SharePoint communicates directly with the SharePoint server via SharePoint’s SOAP interface. Everything needed to enable XML authoring is installed on the local machines of the authors who need it. No installation or additional configuration is required on the SharePoint server. XMetaL Author Enterprise for Microsoft SharePoint is available today. Pricing starts at US$1,390. http://www.justsystems.com/
