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.

Advantages of COSIMA as content management software
COSIMA is more than a classic CMS content management system—it is powerful content management software with the advanced features of a modern CCMS. Content is maintained centrally, used multiple times, and automatically distributed to all relevant channels. This intelligent content management ensures:
Efficiency
Consistency
Qualitäty
future-proof
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 combines the advantages of a CMS editing system with the flexibility of a component content management system. These include:
Areas of application for COSIMA CCMS in technical documentation
COSIMA is used across a wide range of industries as editorial system software—from mechanical engineering and medical technology to software documentation. Wherever complex products, variants, or languages come into play, a component content management system shows its strengths: content is structured modularly, managed centrally, and reused—regardless of product lines, markets, or target groups.
Especially in multilingual content management systems, a CCMS impresses with its clear structures and automation: translations are maintained centrally, synchronized automatically, and used across media. This creates an efficient, scalable, and audit-proof documentation environment—ideal for companies that want to combine quality and efficiency on a permanent basis.
Companies benefit from:
- efficient content management,
- consistent quality across all publications,
- reduced costs and faster time-to-market,
- scalable processes for growing product and language diversity.
