Case Study: BARBRI boosts content efficiency and user satisfaction with Componize

BARBRI Inc. reduces content update time by 45% with Componize Software

BARBRI Inc., a leading provider of bar exam preparation courses, faced the challenge of evolving its content creation and delivery from print to multiple digital formats. They needed a centralized system to manage, reuse, and repurpose content efficiently across various outputs like EPUB, HTML, and print. To address this, they selected the DITA XML standard and implemented the Componize Software CCMS, an Alfresco-based solution, to serve as their core content management platform.

Componize Software provided a powerful and open platform that natively managed DITA content, featuring excellent link management and integration with XML editors. The implementation, done with partner Amplexor, resulted in significant efficiencies for BARBRI. Measurable impacts included a 45% reduction in content update time, a 50% reduction in proofreading hours, and a 30% increase in user satisfaction. Componize's solution also enabled new workflows, such as cutting the time to create custom exams from 40 hours to just 10.
