Xyleme LCMS provides out-of-the-box functionality to automatically import learning content from multiple formats and transform it to XML, enabling the development of compelling training content that conforms to any industry standard and can be output to any delivery channel.
Xyleme LCMS can automatically migrate content produced by today’s most common applications including Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Powerpoint, or Adobe Framemaker, and seamlessly transform this content to XML. Xyleme LCMS can also import content already in DITA XML or other XML schemas. This is a key enabler for single-source and multi-channel learning based on industry standards. Training organizations can now use the same XML content in Xyleme LCMS for multiple purposes, e.g. e-learning courses with SCORM, technical documents with DITA, performance support materials, or mobile learning initiatives.
With the following content migration features, Xyleme enables effortless integration of learning content from legacy applications or proprietary content management systems and straight-forward transformation into XML to achieve the maximum ROI of your learning content investment:
