Systems integration is in our DNA. Dakota began as a systems integrator, and the essential understanding gained in that role remains at our core. We have deep technical experience with leading products, and the majority of our projects involve software deployment, configuration, customization and integration. Our team can successfully complete your deployment project – whether for a software suite or a best-in-breed solution.
Dakota enables organizations to have more control over their corporate information, whether it be product information, engineering documentation or consumer publications, by architecting systems that store information in a central repository separated from any distribution specific data. This allows authors to update content once and have it automatically pushed to a variety of distribution channels.
This concept of managing content in secure fashion so that it is decoupled from any specific medium is central to Dakota's content management philosophy.
Dakota offers a variety of services to assist with any phase of your content management project from initial need analysis to post implementation support.
Dakota's deployment services include:
-

Dakota helps companies better control their technical content, whether it be product information, engineering documentation or consumer publications, by building systems that store information in a central repository separated from any distribution specific data. This technique, known as single-sourcing, allows authors to update content once and have it automatically pushed to a variety of distribution channels.
Many organizations struggle with the initial implementation and development of a content management system. A CMS needs to be properly installed and configured, and it also needs to support the desired design theme. It is also usually necessary to migrate content into the new CMS platform, which can be a time-consuming process.
However, implementing a CMS has many benefits, including a drastic reduction in the time and cost of content production. Dakota assists with the integration of your CMS with your publishing tools. Our strategic partnerships enable us to build systems that meet the specific needs of each customer, and can be configured to fit industry standards such as DITA, S1000D, and more. Our partners include:
-
Alfresco
-
Componize
