tekAuthor simplifies technical publishing with collaborative, cloud-based authoring and structured content management. Streamline updates, reuse content and automate publishing across multiple formats.
From new publications to legacy document conversion, tekAuthor makes content easier to create, maintain and publish. Reduce costs, improve consistency and deliver up-to-date information through tekReader and other publishing channels.
– WHY TEKAUTHOR –
Better content starts
with a better way to work.
Bring your authors, reviewers and document history together in a controlled online environment.
Provide authors with a familiar editing interface, paired with templates and rules that ensure compliant, consistent publications.
Maintain shared content as reusable components instead of updating the same information in multiple documents.
Coordinate roles, comments and tasks so contributors can review and update content in one place.
– ONE CONNECTED WORKFLOW –
From first draft to the next release.
tekAuthor is the content creation and management component of tekPublish. Teams can work in one environment and prepare the same structured content for each publishing channel.
Create content using templates and reusable fragments.
Track revisions and update content as requirements change.
Deliver content to tekReader, PDF and other required outputs.
Use comments, tasks and approvals with a dedicated team.

Start with content you have.
