With their recent acquisition of IXIASOFT CCMS, MadCap Software has expanded its product range, by adding a Structured Authoring Component Content Management System (CCMS) to the arsenal of content creation tools. 

IXIA CCMS is designed from the ground up as an enterprise-class DITA CCMS based on the DITA standard, that can be tailored to individual organizational needs. 

By taking a significant step towards creating an ecosystem that caters to the evolving needs of companies, this exciting development ensures that MadCap Software solutions is now able to grow alongside and cater to the need of organizations of all sizes. This ecosystem empowers them to achieve their content management goals with unparalleled efficiency and flexibility. 

MadCap Software's enhanced range of solutions now covers the spectrum of structured and unstructured content management. Whether you require a CCMS or a comprehensive hosting and publishing solution, MadCap Software has you covered.  

A comprehensive solution that caters to the needs of the organization rather than the other way round 

MadCap Software is a leader in developing state-of-the-art technical authoring toolset that can be implemented and used out-of-the-box to streamline  content creation, management, and delivery. With the addition of IXIASOFT CCMS to their product range, MadCap Software now offers a best-in-class Component Content Management System (CCMS) alongside their renowned toolset. This powerful combination creates a comprehensive solution for organizations, enabling them to manage their content seamlessly throughout their lifecycle. 

Many companies face a dilemma when it comes to choosing the right documentation tools and methodology for their unique needs.  

“Which solution is the best fit for me?" or "What happens if my operations expand or downsize?"  

In some cases, organizations want to be able to choose multiple solutions for different teams with the ability to share information across the chosen platforms.  

With MadCap Software's comprehensive range of solutions, these scenarios are now effectively covered. Our experienced consultants are equipped to advise you on the best solution for your organization, and the added advantage is the flexibility to seamlessly transition between solutions as your needs evolve. 

This ensures that you have the right tools and support in place at every stage of your organizational journey, and if the situation changes, migration from one to the other is a breeze, while you remain with world-class in-house technical and customer support teams. 

Meeting Diverse Organizational Needs

One of the most significant advantages of MadCap Software's expanded ecosystem is its ability to cater to organizations of all sizes. Whether you are a small startup or a large enterprise, MadCap Software has the perfect solution to meet your content management requirements. The out of the box solutions, with its user-friendly interface and robust content import, authoring and multi-channel publishing capabilities, allows small and medium sized teams to create and publish high-quality content with ease. At the same time, the CCMS offers advanced content reuse, collaboration, and workflow management features, empowering larger organizations with complex documentation needs to optimize their content creation processes. 

The complexity of documentation varies across organizations, encompassing factors such as content volume, staff numbers, locations, and industry. An additional complexity for documentation teams comes from the adoption of the Agile approach to product development. An organization might thus take the approach of implementing DITA’s micro-topic-based approach, which complements the principles of Agile methodologies. 

Understanding the diverse needs of customers, MadCap Software recognizes that different organizations require varying degrees of content management. By considering these needs, businesses can decide whether they need structured or unstructured content management, aligning their R&D requirements with the appropriate solution. 

Scalable and Flexible Solutions 

Organizational needs continue to evolve, and MadCap Software recognizes this reality. By combining an out-of-the-box solution and a CCMS within their ecosystem, MadCap Software ensures that their solutions can scale alongside companies as they grow. This scalability and flexibility make MadCap Software the go-to choice for businesses seeking long-term content management solutions. 

With the integration of IXIASOFT CCMS into MadCap Software's product lineup, organizations no longer need to worry about requalifying vendors, migrating content to unknown servers, or losing contact with familiar support teams. The addition of IXIASOFT CCMS allows companies to start small, and effortlessly transition to a more robust content management solution as they grow or acquire other companies. This flexibility minimizes disruptions, reduces onboarding costs, and ensures a smooth transition without compromising content creation processes. 

Regulatory Compliance  

Any organization subject to regulatory requirements knows the effort that goes into qualifying new tools and vendors when they try to integrate them into their Quality Management Systems. By staying within the same group, a lot of the security and vendor qualification tasks are taken out of the list of tasks when implementing a new documentation system. 

Maximizing Efficiency and Productivity 

With MadCap Software's integrated ecosystem, organizations can unlock a host of benefits that enhance their efficiency and productivity. The integration between the MadCap toolset and the CCMS ensures a unified content management experience should the organization change content management strategies. The ability to reuse content across projects, create dynamic outputs, and collaborate in real-time accelerates the content creation process, enabling organizations to deliver high-quality documentation faster than ever before, all of this, independent of the CMS solution they choose.
