Experience Manager Guides is a powerful, enterprise-grade component content management solution (CCMS). It enables native DITA support in Experience Manager, empowering AEM to handle DITA-based content creation and delivery.

Moreover, users can leverage its best-in-class, single-click publishing capability to generate DITA-based output for the most popular formats - Experience Manager Sites, PDF, HTML5, EPUB, JSON, and custom output through DITA-OT.
With Experience Manager Guides solution, enterprises can deliver seamless and personalized experiences to end users and ensure consistency and uniformity in pre- and post-sales content. Complete control over content integrity can be achieved easily. What’s more, localization time and costs also reduce significantly.
