X-Hive/Docato is a Component Content Management System (CCMS). It manages document components, rather than whole documents. Managing at a document level is necessary, but not always sufficient, especially if you want to maximize the efficient re-use of existing content. [more..]

The key to the successful re-use of content is to manage it at a granular level. Components of content can be shared, reviewed, updated, or combined and compiled into different aggregations and collections. Each component is separately edited and re-used, and workflow requirements are enforced on each component. Each component has its own lifecycle and properties (versions, owners, approvals), which allow fine-grained reuse and trace ability. The CCMS provides a single point of access to these components, delivering content both in a traditional document format (for viewing and printing) and in granular format for re-use. Eliminating search, interpretation, and re-keying by end-users.

Among the benefits of reuse: a revision made once to the source content is automatically changed in all documents with that content, eliminating search, interpretation, and re-keying.

X-Hive/Docato has 2 separate modules:
