Q: Are you able to provide end-to-end DITA solutions?
A: Yes. We are unique in implementation of DITA for RTL languages (Hebrew, Arabic and Farsi), training for getting writers into the topic-centric paradigm and optimal reuse, XSL modifications for getting exactly the output that you need, specialization, authoring tools, planning for translation, managing DITA maps, and integrating DITA in your content management environment.

Q: Do you only support DITA for product documents?
A: We think that DITA, and more generally topic-oriented writing, is key to document productivity.
