How does Author-it help with AI?

AION (live in 2026.R1) publishes your structured, approved content as clean JSON for LLMs, RAG pipelines and AI agents. Author-it was built that way 25 years ago. Now we expose it for AI without anyone changing how they write or review. Every AI answer traces back to a specific approved topic, with version and authorship attached.

How is a CCMS different from a CMS?

A traditional CMS manages content at the page or document level. A CCMS manages content at the component level - individual topics that can be assembled, reused, and published to multiple formats from a single source. This makes a CCMS far more efficient for organisations managing large volumes of structured, reusable content.

How long has Author-it been in the CCMS market?

Author-it pioneered the CCMS category over 25 years ago. The company has spent more than two decades helping organisations structure, manage, and publish content - making it one of the longest-standing CCMS vendors globally.

Is Author-it available in the cloud and on-premise?

Yes. Author-it is available as a cloud-hosted SaaS platform and as an on-premise deployment for organisations that require ultra-secure, locked-down environments for compliance or data sovereignty reasons. Both options deliver the same core platform capabilities.

What does Author-it do?

Author-it is an enterprise CCMS that unifies content creation, review, translation, and multi-channel publishing in a single platform. It's built for organisations where content accuracy, compliance, and reuse at scale are critical - across industries like manufacturing, software, utilities, and any sector with complex documentation needs.

What industries does Author-it support?

Author-it works with any industry that has complex documentation needs - high content reuse, multilingual publishing, regulatory compliance, or large-scale technical content. Common verticals include manufacturing, software, and utilities, but the platform is equally effective in healthcare, financial services, education, and other sectors with structured content requirements.

What is a CCMS?

A Component Content Management System (CCMS) is software that manages content at the component level - individual topics, procedures, and warnings - rather than as whole documents. This means you can write a piece of content once and reuse it across multiple deliverables, formats, and languages without duplicating effort.

What is structured authoring?

Structured authoring is a method of writing content in a rules-based, organised way that separates content from formatting. Instead of writing in a final layout, authors create modular components (topics) that can be assembled into different deliverables and published to multiple formats automatically.
