Astoria Authoring Bridges

To meet demanding content requirements and deadlines, authors must access the right content, at the right moment, from anywhere in the world. In addition, they must be able retrieve content from inside their editing environment. Astoria On-Demand enables authors to navigate or search the content repository from inside the leading xml authoring tools including PTC Arbortext Editor. This integration allows authors to work in their familiar, most-productive authoring system environment rather than shifting between two different tools. By providing direct access to the repository through the authoring tool, authors can focus on content without requiring specific knowledge of file, entity and link management tasks.
