SDL has announced today the first release of the company’s end-to-end dynamic publishing technology for technical documentation.

SDL LiveContent is a dynamic delivery engine that produces an interactive document with rich animated graphics, sophisticated search and analytics that allow companies to understand how customers are using their content.

It allows companies that have adopted structured content and DITA, the recognized XML writing standard for technical information, to take advantage of an out-of-the-box solution that delivers interactive web documents to customers’ browsers and devices.

“Future web content infrastructures for global companies will need to deliver extensive technical documentation, not as a collection of static content, but as dynamic technical content that is graphically rich, interactive and personalized to the customer,” said Mark Lancaster, CEO and Chairman of SDL.

“SDL is the first to deliver on this vision by tying dynamic technical publications written in DITA into a Web Content Management strategy and architecture. We envision this solution as augmenting and enhancing our already strong solutions in Web Content Management and eCommerce.”
