  Acrolinx designs, develops and markets Content Optimization software that enables companies such as Adobe, Dell, Cisco, IBM, Philips, and Siemens to make their content easier to comprehend, cheaper to translate, and easier to find.

  Built on a powerful linguistic analytics engine, Acrolinx checks an author’s text against accepted terminology, corporate style guidelines, and the placement and density of search keywords.

  Most Acrolinx customers are medium or large companies whose success relies in part on their ability to communicate effectively with their customers. Our customers produce both “pre-sales” content, which helps drive revenue, and “post-sales” content, which helps drive greater self-service and higher customer satisfaction.

  Content Insight creates innovative, highly functional tools for content strategists, user experience architects and content managers.  These tools enable those who create and update content inventories, analyze page data, perform content audits, manage sites, or supervise content migrations to save hours of time typically spent on manually documenting site structure and page data and tracking ongoing changes throughout a project.

  Founded by experienced content strategy and technology professionals, the company’s fundamental belief is that software tools should support and power human insights. This reflects in easy-to-use, fast, and accurate tools that allow professionals to spend less time wrangling data and more time on analyzing, strategizing, and other high-value tasks.

  The company’s flagship product is the Content Analysis Tool (CAT). The first fully supported software-as-a-service offering of its kind, this robust tool creates and manages comprehensive content inventories via a user-friendly interface.

   

  

   

   

   

   

  For more than 20 years, The Rockley Group has been helping large and small enterprises, colleges and universities, life sciences organizations, membership organizations, and print publishers develop publishing strategies that greatly simplify the publication of content on a wide variety of electronic platforms — not just placing it there, but optimizing it for each platform.

  We call this the Rockley Strategic Method™.

  The Rockley Strategic Method™ enables organizations to design adaptive structured content to reach customers anytime, anywhere, and on any device. Used by the world’s leading brands, the method:

  • Identifies customer requirements
  • Defines structured content models for adaptive and responsive content
  • Determines how content will be reused and repurposed across media and devices and how it will adapt to changing customer needs
  • Identifies the tags (metadata) for retrieval and dynamic delivery
  • Determines how content should be managed throughout the entire content lifecycle
  • Defines the governance policies to manage the content from creation to retirement
  • Recommends appropriate tools and technology
  • Helps organizations to adapt to change
