About Heretto
Heretto is a commercial component content management system, often called a CCMS, built for technical documentation teams. It is positioned as a content operations tool that streamlines authoring, managing and publishing structured content, and it is closely associated with the DITA standard for structured documentation.
The vendor's capabilities pages cover creating, managing and publishing structured content, content governance, translation management, support team enablement, customer self-service, API documentation, artificial intelligence, and analytics and reporting. Its platform is made up of the Heretto CCMS, a Deploy API for delivering content, and a Portal for publishing documentation to readers.
Heretto is a hosted product sold through demos and packages, with documentation, release notes, case studies, white papers, webinars and a podcast. It suits documentation and support organizations that need to reuse content across products, languages and delivery channels.
