COSIMA is a CCMS for professional technical documentation.

It helps companies create content in a modular way, reuse it multiple times, and manage it consistently across all publications—even with a wide variety of variants and multiple languages.

Instead of managing entire documents, COSIMA works at the building block level. This allows content to be maintained centrally, updated efficiently, and published automatically in different formats. The result: shorter publication times, less translation effort, and consistently high documentation quality.

With modular content, open interfaces, and AI-supported technology, COSIMA is ready for new requirements, formats, and publication channels.

CCMS in action

A Component Content Management System (CCMS) demonstrates its true added value wherever complex content needs to be managed efficiently, consistently, and in a version-secure manner:

Mechanical engineering

Product lines and variants require flexible documentation processes. With our COSIMA CCMS, text modules can be maintained centrally and reused in different manuals. Changes to assemblies or safety requirements automatically affect all relevant publications – without redundancies or inconsistencies.

Medical technology

Strict regulations and frequent product changes make structured content management indispensable. COSIMA CCMS ensures that content can be structured modularly, checked centrally, and reused. This allows you to keep track of test benches, translations, and approval versions – efficiently and transparently.

Automotive

Model series, variants, and language versions: The demands on technical editors in the automotive industry are enormous. A CCMS such as COSIMA makes it possible to compile information for different vehicle types in a targeted manner and publish it automatically. This results in consistent, up-to-date documentation across all models – with maximum time savings.

CCMS and editorial systems in comparison

Companies that compare editorial systems quickly recognize the differences between classic CMS solutions and modern CCMS. A classic CMS editorial system usually manages content as a whole—for example, entire chapters or documents. A CCMS such as COSIMA, on the other hand, organizes information modularly, i.e., at the level of individual text, graphic, or information modules.

This offers decisive advantages:

  • greater reuse of content,
  • uniform terminology and consistent quality,
  • automated publication in all output formats.

In direct comparison to other content management systems, COSIMA impresses with its depth of content management and high degree of automation – ideal for companies that want to make their documentation efficient and future-proof.

COSIMA CCMS features at a glance

COSIMA combines the advantages of a CMS editing system with the flexibility of a component content management system. These include:

Audit compliance – track changes, secure content

COSIMA-Icon_Revisionssicherheit

In a component content management system such as COSIMA, every change to a content module is transparently documented. Versions, variants, and approvals remain traceable at all times—regardless of whether they relate to individual modules, chapters, or entire publications. Clearly defined approval processes and integrated feedback functions ensure that editors always have an overview of the status of their content. This results in traceable, reliable, and audit-proof documentation that meets the highest quality and compliance requirements.

Variant management – Think modular, publish selectively

COSIMA-Icon_Variantenmanagement

Flexibility without information chaos: With COSIMA, you always have variants, markets, and product lines under control. Content is structured modularly and can be precisely adapted to different product variants using rule-based control.

Fine-grained validity rules define which content appears in which documentation—automatically, consistently, and without additional effort. This allows you to create a wide variety of publications at the touch of a button, from standard solutions to customer-specific special-purpose machines.

Automation – Efficiency at the touch of a button

COSIMA-Icon_Automatisierung

Routine tasks are a thing of the past: CCMS COSIMA automates many steps in technical documentation—from variant management and media production to publication. Text and image content are automatically linked, ensuring that callouts, labels, and references are always up to date. Text-in-image information can also be controlled dynamically, while the required output formats are generated fully automatically. The result: faster processes, less effort, and fewer sources of error—giving you more time to really improve content instead of maintaining it manually.

Author support in CCMS

COSIMA-Icon_Autorenunterstuetzung1

Intelligent support right from the start: COSIMA accompanies authors every step of the way in the creation process. Terminology control, quality assurance, and automatic checks ensure that content remains consistent, understandable, and compliant with standards—even when text modules are reused. Smart AI assistance functions help to identify errors early on, optimize wording, and speed up approvals. The result: maximum quality with minimum effort—and more time for content work instead of correction loops.

Optimize translation processes

COSIMA-Icon_Uebersetzungsmanagement

Less effort, more precision: COSIMA centrally controls the entire translation process—from commissioning to acceptance. Only the content modules that have changed are translated. This saves time, reduces costs by up to 80%, and ensures consistent terminology in all languages. Thanks to clearly defined workflows and interfaces to translation services, the process runs smoothly. A special bonus: DOCUFY Translation Service integrates machine translation directly into the workflow, enabling fast, cost-efficient multilingualism at the touch of a button.
