x:Point is a new component content management system specifically designed for Microsoft SharePoint users. Developer Suite Solutions has optimised the product to support DITA and modular documentation and to work with XMetaL Author Enterprise for Microsoft SharePoint from JustSystems.

x:Point is designed to extend an existing investment in SharePoint into a full-fledged component CMS. This new product allows organisations to combine their corporate ECM (Enterprise Content Management) solution with a robust solution for managing and sharing modular technical documentation and training material across the enterprise. The solution includes a robust translation management facility to help significantly reduce costs of translating and publishing localized content.

"As part of our mission to increase DITA adoption and lower the barrier to entry for comprehensive content lifecycle implementation, x:Point levels the playing field for companies with limited budget or with strict internal IT guidelines," said Joe Gelb, President of Suite Solutions.

"It provides a platform for achieving effective ECM that can now include everyone in the enterprise – technical documentation, training, engineering, support and marketing – without compromising on robustness. Simply put: we’ve enabled Microsoft SharePoint to rise to the occasion.”
