Case Study: Kaplan Achieves Streamlined Multi-Channel Content Management with Componize Software

Kaplan manages 3 TB of content with Componize

Kaplan, a leading test preparation provider, faced challenges managing content across multiple acquired companies, each using different XML schemas (DITA, DocBook, HTML5) and separate content management systems. This led to high operating costs, process inefficiency, and difficulty in updating materials quickly. They partnered with vendor Componize Software to implement its Alfresco-based CCMS (Component Content Management System) to unify their content operations.

The solution from Componize Software involved migrating all content into a single repository that could handle the various document types and integrate with other tools. This resulted in massive cost savings from reducing multiple system subscriptions and authoring tool licenses, streamlined workflows, and a central source of truth for over 3 terabytes of content. Kaplan achieved publication through multiple custom pipelines to platforms like LMS, PDF, and Amazon print services, improving collaboration with non-technical contributors worldwide.
