CCMS for Teams

Paligo is a full Component Content Management System (CCMS), which provides a seamless experience in the cloud for teams of technical writers compared to an installed editor like FrameMaker.

Every technical writer, SME reviewer, and collaborator works “on the same page” with data stored and managed centrally in the cloud – at all times. No shuffling of files back and forth between computers or to separate servers.

Multi-Channel Publishing

Apart from the main output channels like HTML5, PDF, and many others, Paligo also provides output channels that modern companies need. Paligo had the first and most powerful Zendesk integration for technical documentation on the market, and with a central cloud-based CCMS made for multi-writer teams its capabilities are unparalleled.

Not only that, if your company runs on Salesforce, you’ll also appreciate the ability to single-source your content right into Salesforce Knowledge, so your customer service team has the content they need at their fingertips.

Review Workflow

Paligo has a full workflow with editing/contribution, review, translation, release workflow stages, and assignments, together with a powerful Planner tool for project management.

Teams can follow review, translation, and contribution release workflows and have a full history of the documentation activities and changes, from the document level down to the smallest text fragment.

XML-based Structured Authoring

Both Paligo and FrameMaker provide true robust XML-based authoring.

However, Paligo makes this accessible in a way you’ve never experienced before. With an easy to use WYSIWYG editor built in, coupled with seamless content management built in, you’ll get your team on board in no time.

All-in-One Solution

With installed editors like FrameMaker, you’ll often need to patch together a complex tool chain to get the functionality you need to support a documentation team. Installations need to be managed on multiple computers, hotfixes need to be deployed when released, and so on. Projects need to be managed in a separate server and shuffled around for reviews and contributions, making collaboration difficult. Versioning, revision history, and workflow functionality requires separate software.

Paligo provides an all-in-one CCMS platform with authoring, content management, versioning, branching, release workflows, publishing, translation management built in. Updates are continuously and automatically applied in the cloud. No more tool chain headaches.
