Case Study: Kaplan streamlines content management with Componize Software

Kaplan & Componize Helping Students Achieve Their Goals

Kaplan, a leading provider of test preparation materials, was facing significant challenges managing its content after a series of acquisitions left it with three disparate and costly XML-based content management systems. This complex environment resulted in high subscription fees, multiple writing tool licenses, and substantial internal costs for staff training and vendor coordination. Kaplan needed a single, unified platform to manage its diverse content types and streamline its publishing processes.

Componize implemented its Alfresco-based CCMS to serve as a centralized repository, consolidating Kaplan's content from the legacy systems. The solution managed multiple document types, including DITA, DocBook, and HTML5, and enabled publication to various outputs like LMS, PDF, and print. This allowed Componize to help Kaplan achieve massive savings by reducing system subscriptions and authoring tools, lowering internal IT and training costs, and improving collaboration with non-technical content creators worldwide.
