Content management systems offer organizations the ability to impose controls over the processes of content creation and publishing. Users benefit by having a controlled, shared repository that handles multiple versions of both source content and finished publications, and a formal way of assigning tasks for creating new information or updating existing information.

Arbortext Content Manager, based on PTC's proven content and process management technology, provides a single source of information while providing access control and version control at every component level, preserving component relationships, and providing deep configuration management capabilities. Optimized for managing Arbortext-authored XML documents, Arbortext Content Manager supports collaboration of geographically dispersed teams and manages critical processes such as configuration management and release of publications.

This content management system is able to manage complex information assets and enables organizations to streamline their document and publishing processes.

Arbortext Content Manager is an integral component of the PTC Dynamic Publishing System. The Dynamic Publishing System provides a complete solution for authoring, managing, and publishing product and service documentation such as owners' guides, service manuals, parts catalogs, and training material. The system consists of Arbortext Editor, Arbortext Content Manager, and Arbortext Publishing Engine, which work together to enable automatic, on-demand delivery of up-to-the-minute information that aligns exactly with the product's specific configuration and the reader's specific needs.
