The Content Engineering Lifecycle
We don't just write words. We engineer information systems.
01 Model Define schema, taxonomy, and the reuse model.
02 Author Structured XML authoring against the model.
03 Manage Version control, branching, and review in the CCMS.
04 Publish Automated output — PDF, HTML5, and portals.
05 Analyze Usage metrics that feed back into the model.
Why Organizations Choose Extense
