Epic Editor 4.x, 5.x

Designed for creating XML and SGML content, Arbortext Editor meets the most demanding needs of organizations that employ teams of authors, each working with large amounts of material.

With over 40,000 licenses sold and over 300 Global 2000 customers, Arbortext Editor has earned worldwide recognition for its power, performance and capabilities.

Arbortext Editor handles a broad range of applications, from fast, easy-to-use and cost-effective editing of XML content, to applications requiring unmatched power and performance, such as:

• Content collaboratively written and maintained by teams of authors working in multiple languages
• Content created in reusable components independent of their formatting, stored in content management repositories, and dynamically assembled on demand
• Content personalized for specific audiences and formatted for delivery on multiple media: Web, CD-ROM, print and wireless
• Content automation based on systems and software that are easily customized and leverage the broadest available support for XML and related standards
• Content creation through client-based installations for occasionally disconnected users and through server-based installations accessed by Web browsers for users who are connected full time

Out of the box, Epic Editor works with file systems, WebDAV-enabled repositories, and features configurable adapters for Documentum, Oracle CM SDK (formerly named iFS) and FileNet Panagon Content Services. Arbortext's other repository partners provide adapters to Epic Editor, including BroadVision One-To-One Enterprise, empolis SigmaLink, Progressive Information Technologies Target 2000 and XyEnterprise Content@.

Arbortext offers separate products for content conversion and publishing. The Enterprise E-Content Engine (E3) converts content from Microsoft Word, Adobe FrameMaker and Interleaf documents to XML, and publishes dynamic content to print/PDF and Web/wireless. To publish to CD-ROM, Arbortext offers the Digital Media Publisher.

Through our Extend product, you can install Epic Editor on a server and give your authors access via their Web browsers.
