In today’s fast-paced business environment, product managers and decision-makers face tough choices when designing end-to-end solutions for structured content management. One such critical decision revolves around whether to build an XML editor from scratch or integrate a ready-made OEM solution. At Fonto, we believe the advantages of embedding an OEM XML editor far outweigh the challenges of building one in-house. Here’s why. 

Accelerate time-to-market

Developing a robust XML editor is a complex and resource-intensive endeavor. From designing an intuitive user interface to ensuring compatibility with various XML schemas, the process can take months—or even years. By opting for an OEM solution like Fonto Editor, businesses can bypass these lengthy development cycles and get their solutions to market faster. 

Our XML editor is designed to integrate seamlessly with Content Component Management Systems (CCMS) and Document Management Systems (DMS), allowing you to focus on delivering value to your customers rather than reinventing the wheel. 

Leverage a flexible and configurable solution

No two businesses have identical workflows or requirements. That’s why flexibility is a key feature of our Fonto Editor. Whether you’re working with DITA, DocBook, S1000D, or custom schemas, our solution can be tailored to your needs. This level of configurability ensures that your structured content authoring tool is perfectly aligned with your organization’s specific standards and workflows. 

Benefit from a dedicated roadmap and quarterly upgrades

One of the major advantages of choosing an OEM XML editor is the commitment to ongoing improvement. At Fonto, we’re invested in continuously enhancing our editor. Our dedicated roadmap includes quarterly upgrades that incorporate the latest innovations, usability improvements, and compatibility updates. 

This means your team will always have access to a state-of-the-art tool without having to allocate internal resources to keep it up to date. Building and maintaining an XML editor internally often leads to stagnation, as development teams prioritize other features over continuous improvement. 

Rely on expert support

When you integrate an OEM solution like Fonto Editor, you’re not just acquiring software—you’re gaining access to a team of experts. Our support team works closely with partners to ensure seamless integration and ongoing success. Whether it’s troubleshooting, customization, or training, our experts are here to help. 

Building an in-house solution, on the other hand, places the entire burden of maintenance, upgrades, and user support on your internal team, which can be both time-consuming and expensive. 

Focus on your core business

For most organizations, an XML editor is a means to an end, not the end itself. By outsourcing this component to a trusted OEM partner, you can focus your resources on what truly differentiates your business. Whether it’s optimizing your CCMS/DMS, enhancing user experience, or expanding your market reach, an OEM XML editor allows you to concentrate on delivering value to your customers. 

A key component of your structured content solution

An XML editor may be just one piece of the puzzle in your structured content management system, but it’s a critical one. By choosing an OEM solution like Fonto, you’re ensuring that this component is reliable, future-proof, and adaptable to your unique needs. 

Incorporating Fonto Editor into your solution isn’t just about saving time and money; it’s about positioning your business for long-term success. With quarterly releases, expert support, and unparalleled flexibility, our editor becomes an indispensable part of your structured content strategy.
