Re: Best CMS to use with DITA

[Wim Hooghwinkel - idtp]

Hi Gillian,

There won’t be a best CMS to use with DITA in general. I all depends on your 
requirements. And budget…

Oxygen is not a CMS, Oxygen is an authoring tool. Subversion is not a CMS 
either. For DITA you would not look for a document CMS - look for a Component 
Content Management System (CCMS) or any of the DITA CMS-es: Easy DTA (what are 
the issues you encounter?), DITAToo (budget, best price/quality ratio, 
integrates with FrameMaker), DocZone (SaaS), Bluestream (integrates with FM 
using DITA-FMx). For large scale implementations there’s Componize, Ixiasoft, 
SDL, etc..

Trados is not a CMS either, Trados is a translation tool.

Since you’re on the FrameMaker list I presume you use FM as authoring and 
publishing tool. Then either DITAToo or Bluestream would be a good choice. Both 
easy to install and good fit for a small team.

If you need help, contact me off list.

Vriendelijke groet / Kind regards,

Best CMS to use with DITA

[gill6034]

DITA experts, 

In your own personal experience, what do you think is the best CMS to use with 
DITA, specifically, the Oxygen authoring tool? We could do either self-hosting, 
or a SAAS model. 

I've used Subversion and EasyDita. I don't consider Subversion to be a real 
document CMS, and EasyDita has some issues. 

I think Trados is too expensive and we don't translate yet, so we really don't 
need all that. 

Thanks in advance for your help.
