JustSystems’ XMetaL Reviewer 5.5 Bolsters Content Contribution Capabilities

By DE Editors

JustSystems’ XMetaL Reviewer 5.5 collaborative XML document reviewing software reinforces the central role of document review and collaboration in the overall authoring process. XMetaL Reviewer lets subject matter experts and others contribute content directly to the documents under review. The latest version of XMetaL Reviewer also gains usability, connectivity, integration, and administration enhancements.

  “XMetaL Reviewer lets organizations fully harness the power of collaborative content creation, where a document is reviewed concurrently in real-time by experts who can comment on and contribute to that document, helping to shape and mold it in a controlled,  iterative fashion,” says Aaron Deitcher, vice president of North America and EMEA for JustSystems. “With XMetaL Reviewer, document authors and reviewers become engaged, contributing members of the document creation community,  letting organizations do more with less and more efficiently than ever before —  a valuable capability given the current economic climate.”

XMetaL Reviewer allows reviewers to actively contribute new content and rewrite entire sections of a document. Using the addendum editor,  XMetaL Reviewer users with no knowledge of XML can contribute structured content, insert images, and create lists, tables, and whole sections for consideration as document modifications.

In addition to harnessing the expertise of document reviewers, XMetaL Reviewer offers users a consolidated view of all their suggested changes, which are displayed to all reviewers in real time, as the changes are being made. An audit trail tracks all document changes, and an inline chat feature lets reviewers discuss content changes in real time.

XMetaL Reviewer 5.5 is available now with prices starting at $15,000 for the server and five concurrent user licenses. Additional concurrent licenses are $2,500 for five users.
