Single Source Publishing
Using Coextant’s transformation services, documents are split into so-called topics. For each of these topics, an XML entry is created in a database. You can reverse this process and use existing topics when creating new documents/documentation.
Thus, a comprehensive documentation can be created quickly and reliably on the basis of existing text.
Information systems
The different kinds of Information systems usually also include large volumes of document-oriented "soft" data. Coextant technologies permit combining structured data from ERP systems with "doc-related" information. Examples:
| |
|
|
| |
· |
Stock exchange information systems (spotlights, analyst assessment, descriptions of securities...)
|
| |
· |
Sales information systems, CRM solutions (quotes, contracts, product descriptions, competition analyses...)
|
| |
· |
Product information systems (product data from an ERP system, combined with brochures, specifications, pictures, user stories...)
|
Coextant solutions enable you to combine ERP data and document content.
Online manuals/libraries
Using Coextant technologies, manuals of any size can be prepared for online use and kept up-to-date efficiently. It is thus possible to assemble whole online libraries. Examples:

Customer support applications
For an efficient customer support, issues need to be structured. Also, the issues must be systematically described and itemized. And finally, possible solutions have to be selected and implemented in the process. Frequently, groups of experts are involved in managing the solution information and hotline staff members use large q&a libraries for supporting customers. Coextant solutions are ideal for managing the large variety of documents in such an environment and for making the stored high-level expertise available to the customer support staff.
