Inmedius® Introduces S1000DauthorPro™ XE
Browser-Based & WYSIWYG S1000D™ Editor Significantly Lowers Cost of Ownership
The software is based on Inmedius’ acquisition of DITA Storm™, an intuitive environment to quickly and easily create and edit content; facilitating 100% browser-based authoring. Most significantly, the WYSIWYG technology allows an entire new class of S1000D authors, which to this point have been excluded due to the complexity of the S1000D Specification.

With S1000DauthorPro XE, authors can begin editing without the expense and delay of installing costly, proprietary software on the individual client.
“S1000DauthorPro XE will significantly change the work environment for S1000D authors,” stated Gary Schaffer, Inmedius President and CEO, Inmedius, Inc. “It will markedly improve an organization’s ability to adopt the S1000D Specification by decreasing the barriers of implementation through its ease of use and lower operating costs. With AuthorPro XE, all the functionality needed to be a successful S1000D author is included in one comprehensive software package. It’s easier to use than a traditional XML editor, yet gives complete control to the author should they wish to edit XML content. As an integrated solution, the authoring platform will be included in our management system, becoming one and the same.”
S1000DauthorPro XE represents the first in a series of advanced editing technologies with the ability to handle complex XML data in user-friendly authoring environments. Inmedius expects to launch an ATA commercial aviation authoring solution, based on the same technology, by year’s end. View Press Release
Inmedius® Horizon™ v2.1 Released
Features Document Bursting
Horizon is a complete business process-driven system for managing a technical publications department. The latest release features a significantly enhanced user interface and improvements to usability, efficiency and system performance. Bursting – the ability to break up a large document into multiple smaller documents – is a major new feature included in the August 2009 release.

Bursting functionality allows a document to be managed as a composite document, with portions to be reused as separate subdocument objects.
Horizon’s new bursting functionality allows the management of very large XML/SGML documents, by automatically breaking them down or decomposing them, into smaller subdocuments that can be separately assigned and reassembled when necessary.
Horizon v2.1 has also been updated for seamless compatibility with Inmedius S1000Dmanager™ v3.0 and includes other features and enhancements requested by our clients. View Horizon v2.1 Highlights |
