Industries using Componize
This non-exhaustive list can give you ideas on how XML and DITA can lead to a winning project, reliable documentation, new markets, and new reader’s formats. Among others, Componize serves customers in the Medical Devices, Semiconductors, Learning and Training, Standardization, Publishing, and Software, Finance, and Telecom industries.
Semiconductors
Technical information is a core asset in the semiconductor industry. From design to production, the information must be up-to-date, highly maintainable, and published instantly. Product variants must be mirrored in the documentation for added adjustments.
Componize helps automate technical information production with a reliable and robust tool chain, which performs sterling service in controlling variants for authoring and publishing. Plus, tech pubs can inject data from other systems into their publications.
The Open Standards XML platform for Component Content Management (CCM) and DITA, which Componize offers integrated with Alfresco, was exactly what we were looking for!
Our requirements were completely fulfilled by the key benefits of Componize for Alfresco.
Publishing and Training
The publishing space is fast moving to digital. With game-changing reader formats and mobile devices, publishers must create publish to a variety of formats. This is especially true for continuing education, as students expect trainings to be pin-point accurate, tailored to their previous knowledge and learning style, and supplied to their favorite device. Hence, publishers and training organizations need to distribute their content over several time zones, in a growing number of languages, using multiple variants and formats.
With Componize, publishers benefit from a truly open format, modular, and recognized internationally. Together with easy-to-use editors, templating and form-based authoring help more authors can switch to XML.
The Componize on Demand solution was a perfect fit for our organization, the flexibility of this solution met our complex and various specialization requirements.
Componize’s exceptional customer service and dedication help us meet our challenging deployment timelines.
Finance
The financial services industry has seen a rapid rise of regulatory content, especially as XBRL has become standard for many financial institutions. This has led to the digital conversion of many paper based documents, but these digital copies need to be accurate and most importantly, secure.
With Componize, it has never been easier to customize your authoring standards and most importantly, help keep it secure.
Every quarter, our clients would publish their documents and our system would slow down or even halt. A few years ago, when we decided to launch a new publishing platform, I wanted to give up. Instead, we looked for a way to streamline the publishing process and to upgrade our clients experience without adding needless complexity.Fortunately, we came across Componize. The product just works as expected and doesn’t slow us down. Their support team is helpful, quick and easy to work with.
Software and Hardware
Highly technical environments have never released products faster. And the documentation must match all product variants, releases, and local preferences.
Componize supports simultaneous deliveries, variants, releases, customizations, and taxonomies. The system supports your team’s effort to build-up and secure customers’ confidence in your information and, ultimately, in your products.
Componize’s Component Content Management solution, integrated with Alfresco, has enabled us to significantly reduce costs, streamline processes, and improve content integrity.From addressing our implementation challenges to assisting us with our DITA strategy, working with Componize has been a true partnership. We couldn’t have made a better choice!
Medical devices
A strong supply chain means the authors gain control of the information earlier in the writing process. Componize also ensures more users can participate in reviews in an easy and controlled way, so that the content is ready earlier to customers and medical personnel.
Standardization
Highly structured, standards are well suited for modular XML. Because a lot of participants are volunteers, collaboration must be both easy and controlled. Componize helps by tracking changes, preserving comments, and automating reviews and approvals.
Componize hosted solution means the members only need a browser to participate in workflows, comment content, or approve a version. Bodies can deliver the standards faster, so that the member organizations can start their conformance process earlier.

What our users say
Componize’s Component Content Management solution, integrated with Alfresco, has enabled us to run our processes smoothly, generate and enrich content and improve efficiency.
The EskoArtwork documentation team produces dozens of documentation deliverables every year, in five or more languages. In addition, we need to share this content with the training and support departments. The need for a CCMS based on the DITA standard was acutely felt. After a thorough vendor selection process we decided to go with Componize because of their deep understanding of DITA and the needs of our documentation team, and the tight integration with Alfresco.After only a few months of use, we are already seeing benefits: finding topics is a no-brainer thanks to the metadata library, publishing to PDF or web output has been reduced to just a few clicks, and we no longer need to worry about broken links and references. The Componize team is extremely helpful and responsive – our cooperation has been a pleasure.
The Open Standards xml framework for Component Content Management (CCM) and DITA, which Componize offers integrated with Alfresco, was exactly what we were looking for! Our requirements were completely fulfilled by the key benefits of Componize for Alfresco. Recently we finished our project that we did together with the professional and knowledgeable Componize team led by Frank Shipley. The first Module that went live fulfills our need for:
- reusing and managing an enormous load of components (more than 100k) for different channels and renditions,
- providing direct view of in and outbound links to components
- ability to manage translations in relation to the source
- complete integration with Alfresco as we had already chosen Alfresco as our CMS
We are now in the middle of migrating data sheets, Marketing Category Value Propositions and Product Value Propositions to the CCM DITA Module. In the next couple of months I expect the first results in terms of reduced costs, simplified processes for the global teams and being able to handle translations via an automated efficient process.
