Why DITA?

Why DITA?

It powers faster content, at scale.

DITA is faster for a number of reasons, which we’ll discuss below. But before we get into those details, let’s explore why being faster in technical content production matters to a business. 

Faster matters because content costs less than support tickets

Self-service is the least expensive and most preferred way for a customer to interact with a company. Not all interactions can be self-service, but for the ones that can, it’s the best. When it comes to onboarding, troubleshooting, and product support, the speed limiter is generally content. If customers can’t quickly find answers or the information they’re looking for in your content library, they contact support; it’s that simple.

Depending on your company’s situation, solving a customer’s problem with content rather than a support ticket can be 1000s or 10,000s times less expensive. It’s massively more efficient.

The simple truth is that your support costs are a function of your human-required issues + not covered self-service issues. The lowest hanging fruit is producing the content to cover all self-service issues, and in order to do this, your team needs to be faster at content production, because covering all self-service is often a lot of content.

Faster matters because prospects check the docs

Prospects check documentation for two primary reasons: vibe and validation. 

We all know what a robust, professional documentation experience looks and feels like. It’s like walking into a hotel lobby that is well staffed, clean, organized, and well maintained. This is the vibe. It translates to trust. When prospects see that an organization takes their product documentation seriously, it builds a feeling that the organization takes their success seriously.

We all know that marketing websites are there to sell stuff, they’re there for the company. Yes, they’re helpful to us, but the primary reason a company builds a website is to generate revenue, it’s for them. 

Documentation sites are the opposite. They exist exclusively to help the customer. Yes, they also help the company reduce costs, but the primary reason for the content is helping customers. 

This intrinsic truth is something everyone feels. When you see a company with an extremely expensive marketing site, but a minimal or forgotten documentation experience, it shows their priorities. And, of course, the inverse is also true, and perhaps more powerful. A great documentation site builds a prospect’s confidence that they have a solid and robust place to turn when they have an issue or want more from the product they purchased. 

Faster matters because building this trust creating experience requires a team to produce a lot of high-quality content on a continuous basis.

How much faster does DITA make a content team?

Our data points to between 2 and 3 times faster.  We’ve seen this trend throughout our experience with customers and also across several surveys. Here’s the data from our latest survey on this topic.

Starting with average pages created and updated per year per author, DITA in a CCMS (not necessarily Heretto) is roughly twice the volume of the other common options. 

No surprise that…

‍

Will DITA make my team faster?

The key question. The answer is, of course, it depends. On the graph below, the key thing to determine is where the intersection point is for your team.

‍

‍

There are ways to impact the position and slope of both lines, but fundamentally, the key factors are going to be reuse, personalization, and multichannel, which are the capabilities that make DITA faster. We go into the details of how these work below, but fundamentally these are the things that impact the slope of the DITA content line.

Teams that have no potential for reuse, no need for personalization, and only publish to one place, can sometimes still see enough benefit from the efficiency of automated publishing or reduction in translation costs. 

‍

How does DITA make content teams faster?

This is where we start getting into the technical details. If you want a tl;dr, it’s reuse.

Reuse comes in three different varieties:

1. Source content reuse: One piece of content is used in multiple deliverables
2. Personalization: One piece of content used, and altered, for different consumers
3. Multichannel publishing: One piece of content used in different experiences

Source content reuse is the type of reuse most people are thinking of and referring to when they say they need reuse, but personalization and multichannel publishing are every bit as powerful and compelling for many organizations. Taken together, these three capabilities are how teams efficiently and consistently reuse content for different purposes, people, situations, and channels. And this is the single greatest capability of DITA as a methodology for content. 

There are other important reasons organizations choose DITA, which we’ll go into later, but reuse is truly the central pillar of value.

The core reason we chose to build Heretto around DITA and why technical content teams choose DITA to build their content on is efficiency. DITA is about 50% more efficient than other methodologies when implemented well. Additionally, it’s the only content standard that doesn’t have scalability limits. DITA isn’t the best choice for all types of content, or even the best choice for all technical content, but it is the best choice for teams with large content sets.

Let’s look more closely at the types of reuse.

‍

Source content reuse

Source content reuse is often what people mean when simply referring to reuse. Reusing source content is the foundation of scalable reuse. It’s what gives teams double digit efficiency improvements through eliminating copy-paste workflows used to manage similar content across multiple documents.

The traditional way people reuse content across documents is simply to duplicate it. Often this means copying it from where it’s created and pasting it into the places it’s the same. When this is one to one between a source and end-use location, it’s often not painful enough to fix. But when copying smaller pieces between source files to account for shared content becomes required, the workflow can quickly become too expensive to do manually. There is also a governance aspect to this issue, when content is copied, its chain of custody becomes disconnected and it’s not possible to ensure the end consumer has exactly what they should.

With DITA, content is linked together rather than being copied. If I wanted to use this paragraph in another article, I would simply create a link to it and when that article was published, it would have this paragraph inserted at the position of this link. In DITA-speak, this link is called a conref, which is short for content reference. This linking to reuse content can be done at almost every level, from individual words up to entire documents.

Source reuse has downstream impacts as well. Governance, for example, is often a key driver and is enabled by a strong reuse simply because when content that is going to be used in many places is reviewed people apply more rigor and scrutiny. And while governance is its own aspect, a great deal of governance is simply ensuring that the right thing is presented to the end user and reuse is a critical capability in ensuring that result.

Personalization

When most people hear the word personalization, they think of a marketing email where your name gets put in or Amazon suggesting new products based on the ones you’ve previously bought, but that’s not at all what it is in documentation.

Personalization in documentation is a type of reuse, but another way to think of it is that personalization and reuse are two sides of the same coin. Personalization is what unlocks reusing similar pieces of content rather than only being able to reuse content that is exactly the same. The most common example of this is two products that are very similar but have different names. In this case, DITA allows you to make the name a variable that changes based on the product so that you can reuse all the content around it. This is personalization, you’re personalizing the content to the product that the person owns.

Personalization is also flagging (adding metadata) to content that only applies to some audiences. A step in an install procedure may only apply to the version of a product sold in Europe. When a reader in the US sees that content, the step is removed, personalizing the content for their use case. 

At a high level, personalization is just two things: switching content that is in variables and removing the content that is irrelevant for users other than the user viewing it. 

Back to the statement that personalization and source reuse are two sides of the same coin. When a personalized experience is your objective, you can’t do it at any kind of scale without source reuse because without reuse the process of personalization demands that you copy content. And if the efficiency of reuse is your primary aim, you can’t accomplish it without personalization because the small differences, like names and specific call outs, in text that is otherwise identical will prevent that text from being reused. It is the synergy of these two capabilities in DITA that unlocks the value of both of them.

‍

Multichannel publishing

The only page, snippet, or answer that matters is the one a person uses. Multichannel publishing is actually the most basic form of reuse. It’s all the form of reuse that allows technical content teams to power future applications. The problem with most content is that it’s built for a single end use case. Microsoft Word documents are written to be documents. Knowledge-base articles are written in the knowledge base. Chatbot responses are built into the chatbot. And so on. With DITA, you focus on building great content in a semantically rich manner, then use pipelines to convert it into end user applications. This means you can power helpsites, in-application or in-product, AI agents, and print/PDF all from the same source, and all without any manual labor other than a publish button.

Multichannel publishing is especially important today because we’re entering into a multi-agenentic future and each agent is a channel. Organizations that want tight control over their bots and AI agents need tight control over the inputs into those bots and agents. DITA provides this by allowing teams to treat each agent as a channel and reuse content across them seamlessly and efficiently. 

‍

Extensibility 

Rarely do teams think about extensibility when they’re first getting into structured content, but it is an important capability for future growth and applications, and it’s one of the things that truly sets DITA apart. So even though DITA’s extensibility is less talked about than reuse and harder to put hard ROI numbers to, it’s no less important for large organizations looking to standardize. In DITA terminology, the ability to extend the content model is called specialization. This is because the process of extending your DITA content model is taking one piece, typically an element, and making a new, special version of it. 

The secret sauce that makes this so unique and powerful in DITA is that your new element is both the new version and the original at the same time. This means that an organization can introduce and use new rules and semantics into their content model without disrupting those who are using the current version. This is what enables large organizations to collaborate across teams.

Conclusion: DITA as a content powerhouse

DITA a holistic choice for content teams. And while DITA isn’t the universal answer across all content, it is the best choice for teams who prioritize scalability, consistency, and quality.

‍

‍

Large organizations often struggle with scaling their technical manuals due to inconsistencies and inefficiencies in their processes. Without a structured approach, maintaining quality across extensive documentation libraries becomes increasingly difficult as product lines expand and markets diversify. The Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA), however, offers a structured solution that streamlines content creation and management, enabling organizations to maintain consistency while efficiently scaling their documentation efforts.

In this article, we'll address the common challenges associated with the creation and scalability of technical manuals and what the future holds. We’ll also provide a practical guide for implementing DITA in your workflow to improve documentation consistency and scalability.

The Challenges of Traditional Technical Manual Creation in Large Organizations

Traditional methods of writing technical manuals often lead to inconsistent formatting, complex version control, and slow translation processes. This results in disjointed user instructions, increased customer support inquiries, and delays in global deployments. Redundant content and manual updates further exacerbate these issues, impacting the accuracy and reliability of technical information.

Here’s a deeper look into those challenges and their implications:

Inconsistent Formatting and Style: 

Varied author styles of technical writing create disjointed user manuals, confusing end users and undermining product credibility. This inconsistency leads to increased customer support inquiries as users struggle to navigate poorly formatted documents, driving up support costs and eroding user trust. Inconsistent formatting can also obscure critical information, making it difficult for users to find essential safety instructions or troubleshooting tips, leading to frustration and potential safety risks.

Version Control Complexities

Without a centralized system for tracking changes, documentation rapidly becomes a source of errors and outdated information. Consequently, customer support may provide conflicting answers, damaging user confidence. Moreover, users relying on incorrect reference materials can make costly mistakes. The resulting inconsistencies compromise the accuracy of technical specifications and system requirements, directly leading to compliance risks and operational inefficiencies. 

Ultimately, a lack of version control contributes heavily to misinterpretations, increasing the risk of regulatory violations and damaging overall product reliability.

Translation and Localization Delays

Manual translation significantly delays global deployments, directly impeding time-to-market. Maintaining linguistic consistency is critical for product usability and safety, especially with complex technical details. Poor translations lead to misinterpretations, potentially causing product misuse and regulatory violations, impacting user experience, and limiting market penetration.

The specialized expertise required for technical language and code sample translation is often underestimated, leading to errors that cause significant misunderstandings and damage brand reputation. These errors, in turn, ultimately stall global expansion.

Redundant Content and Update Issues

Updating identical information across multiple documents is extremely time-consuming, wasting valuable resources that could be better allocated to content improvement or new documentation development. The increased risk of errors due to manual updates in multiple locations severely compromises the accuracy and reliability of technical information. 

This redundancy becomes even more of a problem when making urgent updates to safety instructions or critical user instructions, where even minor discrepancies can have significant consequences.

Scaling Limitations

As product lines expand, traditional documentation methods become increasingly inadequate, severely limiting scalability. Rapidly creating and deploying new documentation becomes a major obstacle, directly slowing product launches and diminishing market responsiveness. Without a structured approach, documentation teams encounter significant bottlenecks, effectively stifling growth. 

The inability to scale documentation leads to missed deadlines lost revenue, and a weakened competitive position. Additionally, the resulting strain on documentation teams leads to burnout and decreased morale, severely impacting productivity, quality, and the timely delivery of crucial software updates and API documentation.

Why DITA Content is Necessary for Scaling Technical Manuals

Scaling technical documentation effectively demands a structured approach that surpasses the limitations of traditional methods. DITA offers this structure, providing core functionalities designed to address the challenges we've discussed. 

Here's how DITA enables scalable technical manuals:

• Modular structure enables scalability: DITA's XML-based structure allows for content modularity, making it easy to organize and reuse technical content across multiple documents. Topics and maps provide a clear framework, while specializations allow for tailored documentation, ensuring consistency as your documentation grows.
• Topic-based authoring streamlines content management: DITA's topic-based authoring approach allows technical writers to create modular content that can be reused across different documents, reducing redundancy and ensuring consistency. This modularity simplifies content updates and maintenance, making it easier to manage large volumes of documentation.
• Single-sourcing ensures consistency: By creating content once and reusing it across multiple outputs, DITA ensures that all documentation remains consistent, regardless of size. This single-sourcing capability reduces the risk of errors and ensures that all users receive accurate and up-to-date information.
• Efficient updates and localization: DITA's structured approach simplifies content updates, allowing authors to make changes in one place and have them reflected across all documents. This efficiency is crucial for large organizations that need to quickly update and localize their documentation for global audiences.

Ultimately, DITA's structured approach provides the foundation needed for large organizations to scale their technical documentation effectively, ensuring consistency, efficiency, and accuracy.

Creating and Scaling Technical Manuals Using the DITA Approach

Effectively implementing DITA for scalable technical manuals requires a strategic, multi-faceted approach. To ensure a seamless transition and maximize the benefits of DITA, consider these five key steps, each building upon the previous:

1. Establish DITA Content Strategy and Modeling

To begin building a solid foundation for your technical documentation, conduct thorough content audits. This process reveals reuse opportunities and enables the creation of consistent content models, essential for a successful DITA implementation. Carefully plan content migration and structure optimization to ensure a smooth transition, maintaining existing workflows and user access. 

Also, be sure to align your technical manual content strategy with business goals and user needs. This is crucial as it ensures the creation of relevant and effective documentation that supports product adoption and technical support requirements. 

2. Select and Optimize DITA Tools and Workflows

To ensure efficient content creation and management, begin by carefully evaluating DITA-compliant authoring tools and CMS integrations. Consider your organization's specific needs, including team size, technical expertise, and integration requirements with existing systems. 

Configuration of these tools streamlines the authoring process, reducing the learning curve for technical writers and maximizing productivity through content reuse and conditional processing. Additionally, customizing workflows for content approval and publishing is essential to maintain quality control and eliminate bottlenecks, preventing delays in documentation releases — especially for critical user guides and reference materials.

3. Establish Content Governance and Automation for Scalability

To achieve scalable documentation and maintain consistent quality, clearly define roles and responsibilities for content management. This ensures accountability throughout the development process, preventing quality issues as your content library expands. Implementing automated workflows further streamlines technical manual creation, review, and publishing, significantly reducing manual effort while upholding rigorous quality standards for technical specifications and step-by-step instructions. 

Finally, establish robust governance policies for quality control, versioning, and compliance with these workflows. This is essential for scaling documentation efforts effectively, meeting regulatory requirements, and maintaining user trust through consistently accurate information.

4. Leverage DITA for Effective Localization and Delivery

To ensure effective localization and delivery of technical content, utilize DITA's structured approach. This facilitates efficient translation and ensures consistent content across languages and regions. Employing conditional processing also allows you to tailor content for specific user roles, technical expertise, and use cases, significantly enhancing the user experience without duplicating content management efforts. 

Finally, automate content delivery to multiple platforms and formats, from PDFs to online knowledge bases, to guarantee accessibility and consistency across all user touchpoints, improving customer satisfaction and reducing production costs.

5. Measure and Improve Documentation Performance

Analyzing key documentation metrics helps identify areas for improvement and ensures continuous enhancement of your technical content, driving better user engagement and support efficiency. This requires systematically gathering user feedback to optimize content usability and relevance, particularly for complex products that require clear instructions and troubleshooting tips. 

Be sure to Implement industry best practices for content optimization to maximize the effectiveness of your technical manuals. This will help to reduce support inquiries while improving product adoption through better user understanding of key features and functionality.

For organizations facing the challenges of managing rapidly scaling technical documentation, DITA is indispensable. As an open, XML-based standard, it ensures interoperability and provides a powerful framework for topic-based authoring, content reuse, and semantic markup. This architecture facilitates scalable content reuse, enabling the creation of modular content that can be assembled in different ways for diverse purposes, as well as flexible, multi-channel publishing, leading to significant reductions in long-term content maintenance costs and increased consistency across all content outputs. 

To navigate the complexities of scaling technical documentation, DITA authoring provides the structure and flexibility necessary for achieving optimal content scalability. In this article, we'll explore why DITA authoring has become essential for organizations seeking to scale their content operations effectively, examining both the challenges of traditional content management approaches and the specific advantages DITA brings to enterprise documentation teams.

The Challenges of Scalable Content Management

Scaling content operations presents numerous obstacles for documentation teams working with growing product portfolios and expanding global audiences. Without a structured approach, these challenges quickly become overwhelming.

Those challenges include:

• Limitations of traditional content management systems: Conventional document-oriented systems struggle to handle the complexity and volume requirements of enterprise-level content. These systems often create content silos, making information difficult to discover and reuse. This file-based approach leads to duplication and redundancy as similar content is recreated across multiple documents.
• Inconsistencies and errors in unstructured content: When content lacks structural guidelines, maintaining consistency becomes nearly impossible as documentation scales. Terminology, formatting, and information architecture vary between authors and documents, creating a disjointed user experience. These inconsistencies can damage brand perception and reduce the effectiveness of the documentation, potentially increasing support costs.
• Demands of multi-channel and global content delivery: Modern documentation must serve diverse audiences across multiple platforms, from traditional PDFs to responsive websites, mobile applications, and embedded help systems. Traditional workflows require separate content streams for each delivery channel, multiplying the work required. When global markets enter the equation, the complexity increases exponentially with each additional language.
• Version control and content governance issues: Managing content throughout its lifecycle becomes increasingly difficult as product versions proliferate and content ages. Without proper governance mechanisms, outdated information persists, creating customer confusion and potential safety risks in regulated industries. Tracking content lineage and approval status across large document sets becomes virtually impossible without specialized tools.

Considering these complex challenges, the need for a structured approach like DITA becomes clear, as it offers both a powerful and logical solution.

The DITA Authoring Advantage: How it Drives Scalability

DITA authoring can provide organizations with a structured framework specifically designed to overcome content scaling challenges. By embracing DITA's principles and capabilities, documentation teams can build sustainable content operations that grow efficiently with business needs.

The main advantages of DITA authoring include:

Topic-Based Authoring for Modularity

DITA's foundation revolves around topic-based authoring, which breaks content into discrete, self-contained units of information addressing specific subjects. Each topic serves a single purpose — explaining a concept, describing a process, or providing reference information — and can stand independently.

This modular approach transforms how teams conceptualize their content, shifting from document-centric to component-centric thinking. Rather than managing hundreds of documents in their entirety, teams manage thousands of separate topics that can be assembled in countless combinations to meet different information needs, enabling efficient scaling without redundancy.

Content Reuse with Conrefs and Keyrefs

DITA provides powerful mechanisms for content reuse through content references (conrefs) and key references (keyrefs). 

Conrefs allow authors to insert content from one topic into another, ensuring that commonly used text, warnings, or procedures appear consistently throughout the documentation. Keyrefs add another dimension by enabling variable substitution through indirection. Product names, version numbers, and other frequently changing elements can be defined as keys, allowing documentation to be updated across thousands of topics by changing a single value. 

This capability dramatically reduces maintenance overhead as content scales, eliminating time-consuming search-and-replace operations.

Single-Source Publishing and Multi-Channel Delivery

DITA's separation of content from formatting enables true single-source publishing — creating content once and publishing it anywhere. This means the same DITA topics can generate traditional PDFs, responsive HTML5 websites, mobile help apps, and embedded assistance.

This capability eliminates the need to maintain separate content streams for different output formats, allowing teams to scale their delivery channels without scaling their authoring efforts. As new distribution platforms emerge, DITA content can adapt without requiring content recreation, protecting the organization's content investment.

Conditional Processing for Content Variants

DITA's conditional processing features allow authors to create multiple content variants from a single source by tagging content with attributes like product, audience, platform, or feature. During publishing, these conditions determine which content appears in which outputs.

This enables documentation teams to efficiently manage content for multiple product variants, user types, or deployment scenarios without creating separate document sets. As product lines expand and audience segments grow, conditional processing ensures sustainable content scaling without proportional increases in authoring effort or investment.

Improved Content Consistency and Governance

DITA's structured approach enforces consistency through content models, specialized topic types, and controlled vocabulary. These constraints ensure that all content follows established patterns, regardless of which author creates it or when it was developed.

The structured nature of DITA also facilitates robust governance processes. Metadata can track approval status, review cycles, and applicability, while XML validation ensures compliance with organizational standards. As content volume increases, these governance mechanisms maintain quality without requiring additional oversight resources.

Streamlined Localization

DITA significantly improves localization efficiency through several mechanisms. The modular approach means only changed topics need translation, not entire documents. Content reuse ensures translated phrases remain consistent, while conditional text reduces the volume of content requiring translation.

XML's structured nature also improves compatibility with translation memory systems and machine translation, further reducing costs. Organizations with global audiences can scale to additional languages more economically, as the localization overhead for each new language diminishes substantially with DITA.

Implementing DITA for Long-Term Content Success

While DITA structured authoring offers powerful capabilities for content scaling, successful implementation requires thoughtful planning and preparation. Organizations must approach DITA adoption as a strategic information architecture initiative rather than merely a technology project.

Here’s what organizations must take into consideration to successfully plan their DITA implementation:

Planning and Strategy

A comprehensive DITA implementation strategy must align with broader business objectives and consider both immediate needs and future growth. This strategy should define clear success metrics, identify pilot projects, and establish realistic timelines for phased implementation.

Key considerations include content migration approaches, training requirements, process redesign, and change management. Organizations must also determine how deeply to embrace DITA specialization — whether to use out-of-the-box structures or develop custom information models tailored to their specific documentation needs.

Choosing the Right Tools and Technologies

Not all DITA authoring tools are created equally, and successful DITA implementation requires a Component Content Management System (CCMS) designed specifically for structured content. Unlike traditional CMSs, a DITA-aware CCMS understands the relationships between topics, manages content reuse, and facilitates conditional publishing workflows.

Information architecture becomes even more critical in a DITA environment. Organizations must develop consistent metadata strategies, topic classification systems, and content organization principles that support both authoring efficiency and content findability as their repositories grow to thousands of topics.

Building Team Capabilities

Transitioning to DITA requires some new skills and a new mindset. Organizations must invest in comprehensive training programs that cover not just DITA syntax but also component thinking, content design principles, and information modeling concepts. There are also free resources, such as LearningDITA, that can help teams begin upskilling immediately until an official training program is selected.

Creating centers of excellence or DITA champion networks helps maintain momentum and provides ongoing support for authors as they adapt to structured authoring. As content operations scale, these internal experts become invaluable resources for maintaining best practices and onboarding new team members.

Measuring and Optimizing

Establishing metrics to track DITA's impact helps justify the initial investment and identify opportunities for further optimization. Key performance indicators might include content reuse rates, translation cost savings, time-to-publish improvements, and content quality measures.

Additionally, regular assessments of content processes, information models, and authoring guidelines ensure the DITA implementation continues to evolve with changing business needs and emerging industry practices.
