Through the integration of Quark® XML Author with IBM® FileNet® Content Manager, any IBM FileNet Content Manager user can:
Easily author DITA-based XML using Quark XML Author — an add-in to Microsoft® Word
Automatically submit XML content from Word to IBM’s FileNet Content Manager for management throughout its entire lifecycle
Today’s BENEFITS Business Challenges
Whereas organizations once faced steep challenges to automate back-end business applications, today’s business pressures demand that organizations re-invent the way they create
and manage information in order to drive sustainable competitive advantages. This means organizations no longer can afford using cumbersome, manual processes to gather,
manage, and repurpose information — the inefficiencies cause delays in time-to-market, compromise the accuracy and relevance of information, and hinder both the reuse and effective
updating of information. Instead, organizations must transition to an agile information management model that lets knowledge workers across the organization
easily create, share, and input intelligent, structured content to an enterprise content management system. The answer is adopting an XML approach based on DITA (the Darwin Information Typing
Architecture), an OASIS standard for designing, authoring, and publishing modular information using structured XML.
Easily Create and Manage DITA-based XML Content
Quark® and IBM have joined to give organizations a DITA-based solution to meet these challenges
head on. Through the integration of Quark XML Author with IBM FileNet® Content Manager, any Microsoft®Word user can easily author DITAbased,
XML content and automatically submit it to IBM’s
FileNet Content Manager for management throughout its entire lifecycle. Using Quark XML Author — an add-in to Microsoft Word — anyone can easily create
XML documents with no knowledge of XML and little or no training. This eases the transition from creating
unstructured, monolithic documents of the past to authoring the highly intelligent, structured documents organizations need in
order to adopt an enterprisewide XML strategy and effectively manage business content throughout its lifecycle. Integration of a user-friendly
XML authoring tool with a high-end content management solution also allows organizations to:
- Enable enterprise-wide adoption of XML
- Effectively capture the knowledge of internal business users
- Increase the return on content management investments
