Case Study: BARBRI achieves faster content updates and proofreading with Componize

BARBRI and DITA A match made in heaven

BARBRI Inc., a leading provider of bar exam preparation courses, needed to evolve its content creation and delivery from print to multiple digital formats. They sought a structured content solution to streamline output, enable content reuse, and manage taxonomy associations for tracking student progress, leading them to select the DITA standard and partner with Componize Software.

Componize Software implemented its Componize solution, an Alfresco-based CCMS, to manage BARBRI's DITA content. This provided excellent link management and allowed the team to work in an Agile process with strong support. The results included a 45% reduction in content update time and a 30% increase in user satisfaction. Specific process improvements saw the time for creating custom exams drop from 40 hours to just 10, and proofreading hours were reduced by 50%.
