Les vœux de Yves Mangili, Président Directeur Général de 4D Concept

For this fall season 2020, the 4D Concept teams are very happy to present the brand-new version of the DITA FACTORY CCMS.

DITA FACTORY V2 revolutionizes the world of creation and document management in DITA standard.

International development is an essential and mandatory step in a publisher’s roadmap.

Although the economic situation remains confused for the moment, it is the right time for 4D Concept to broaden its reach and provide a positive response to the growing demand from foreign manufacturers who wish to deploy our solutions.

It is on the strength of its experience in this project that the 4D CONCEPT teams are continually improving their developments and the CCMS DITA FACTORY roadmap, convinced that the need expressed by the PSA Group was not isolated.

Today, all the players in fields as varied as industry, digital services, publishing, pharmaceuticals, consumer goods and many others can produce and publish their documentation in DITA standards, benefiting from a high level of expertise and a robust and complete tool.

This is an important period for the ADAM suite and especially the Manager module. Graphic redesign, improved performance, enhanced security, 4D Concept has not left anything out of its version 5 offering of the CSDB S1000D, the most powerful on the market.

La rédaction technique est une discipline à l’historique riche. Elle connaît depuis longtemps des avancées
techniques et technologiques surprenantes qui ont encadré son évolution dans le temps. Des prémices de la PAO jusqu’à la production documentaire

Le standard documentaire a également pour mission de rendre simple ce qui est complexe pour garantir la clarté de l’information, et supprimer tout risque ou besoin d’interprétation par les opérateurs de maintenance. De fait, l’objectif est de réduire les marges d’erreur, et d’augmenter la sécurité et la durée de vie des systèmes.

Since the beginning of the year, ADAM received many improvements, becoming always closer to our customers’ and users’ expectations. JIRA Software connection, S1000D 5.0, workflows management etc.

ADAM is continuing its development, and is releasing two new versions of its Author and Manager components.

“These new Author and Manager versions are definitely major improvements to the ADAM Suite, strengthening its authoring and publishing abilities.”
Alexandre NIO – Product Owner ADAM.

4D CONCEPT will exhibit for the second time at DITA Europe forum next 7 and 8 November in Bruxelles.

“In the full digital age, 4D CONCEPT is becoming step by step a reference, and goes out of our borders on an international field, while defending its french roots, innovative and cutting-edge industry nation”

For their “localization” in Europe, an automotive global player simply wanted to use car-maker data that were available in SAE J2008 format (Recommended Organization Vehicle Service Information), and convert them into DITA-publishing-standard data.

ATEQ wanted, in 2018, to modernize its user documentation by linking the modularity of information to the modularity of its equipment, for greater flexibility and also to reduce production costs and translation costs.

New products that result from this will require appropriate technical documentation that describes and illustrates exactly the exponential quantity of new functions that have just been added.

Nowadays, cross media publishing is in fashion, but cross- media is much more than a simple trend: it is essential. For many of the things we do throughout the day, we are connected to our mobile devices permanently. In pour professional lives and in our private lives, we are used to getting information instantly. Even information has evolved : it has become interactive. That is why companies must think differently about the production and publication of their information right from the first drafts.
