Product Details

What is Paligo?

Paligo is an enterprise-grade cloud-based Component Content Management System (CCMS) with single-sourcing content reuse for technical documentation, training content, policies and procedures, and knowledge management. Paligo is 100% XML in the back end, based on a modified version of DocBook - an established open standard developed for technical documentation. This is to provide future-proofing as well as extensibility and transformability for any current and future applications. The strict structure of XML and solid validation it provides offers possibilities and a consistency that, according to Paligo, no other format can provide.

Companies seek to make their documentation more efficient through single-sourcing and reuse. But many single-sourcing projects fail due to the steep learning curves and costs of implementation of traditional systems. So cloud-based solutions like Paligo aim to enable greater collaboration and efficiency. Using modern web technology reduces the costs of implementation, to increase usability and thereby user acceptance. A cloud-based authoring and publishing platform to reuse and single-source documentation with a clear focus on usability and user acceptance can improve the chance of realizing the return of investment and actually achieving the increase in efficiency.

In an information-enabled world, content is required to help solve problems and guide decision-making. Siloed content creation and management technology have led to content duplication, inconsistent content, and challenges finding the right content for customer and employee experiences. A component content management system (CCMS) like Paligo aims to change that.

Paligo's top features at a glance:

  • Structured Authoring

Structured authoring helps make content consistent, accurate, and future-proof. The XML editor enables content reuse, making structured authoring easier.

  • Content Reuse

Reuse content at scale with topic-based authoring and smart single sourcing features such as component reuse, block content reuse, the Paligo text fragment reuse, dynamic variables, and conditional content.

  • Multi-Channel Publishing

Paligo takes multi-channel publishing to another level. Publish to HTML5, PDF print, SCORM eLearning, Zendesk, Salesforce, GitHub, BitBucket, Amazon S3, and much more.

  • Versioning

Paligo features version history and roll-back, version branching, and release management made specifically for technical writers and content authors.

  • Translation Management
Paligo offers smart translation management, avoiding duplicate files for each language. Integrates with Memsource and other TMS solutions.

I've yet to be unhappy with the support I've received from Paligo. Missing features are an occurrence for any piece of software.

All the support requests I've submitted have been resolved in one way or another. Sometimes it takes some back and forth, which is to be expected. This is where being on a different continent becomes a drawback. Since we became Enterprise users, we've also had an additional level of help and support from a dedicated account manager in the US, and the resolutions seem to come more quickly.

I've had good experiences so far with Paligo support. Responses have been prompt, with enough detail to unblock me / point me to features I didn't yet know about. Maybe it's unfair to fault them for not road mapping proper SCORM 1.2 compatibility, but I'm going to do it anyway.

The support is very good they are in constant communication with our organization. They request feedback and respond to feedback when it is given to them. The online help is good. the only issue I have is it can be sometimes hard to search for the correct topic, the way the search works could probably be improved.

Paligo's support has a very quick turnaround time and always ensures that your raised questions are fully answered.
They constantly follow up to clarify whether their suggestions have the expected result.
All around a group of friendly, helpful, and quick supporters!

However, raising a feature request is often not answered at all, although it is heavily upvoted by other Paligo users.

So far, support has been excellent. They reply very quickly and give in-depth replies. Solutions advisors and account managers have also been very responsive and clearly focused on creating the best experience for implementation. And that's only when the answers can't be found in excellent product documentation. The online training class and tutorials are also very good.

The training is exceptional, and follow-up support is absolutely comprehensive. The main minds behind this company are dedicated to its success, and you can tell by how responsive they are to their customers.

I almost feel as if I have a professional connection with my main contact for this company, and it makes me confident that any time I reach out, there will always be a supportive answer following. This is an excellent aspect for ANY company, and Paligo has it in spades. Thank you, Mike.
