In the modern-day business world, content development is far more complex, distributed, and multicomponent than ever before. In such a scenario, it is important for a robust authoring and publishing tool to integrate with the enterprise Content Management System (CMS). Better integration and synergies between the content authoring and management engines will ensure better version control, more streamlined workflows and increased ease of component reusability.

Adobe FrameMaker 11 offers out-of-the-box integration with best-of-breed CMSs like EMC Documentum and Microsoft SharePoint via built-in connectors, and others using third-party plug-ins. With FrameMaker 11 users get access to a set of APIs that can connect your enterprise authoring environment with virtually any CMS. This allows users of these CMS solutions, to manage FrameMaker binary and XML files, and graphics It also allows efficient check-in, check out, and editing of complex, multicomponent documents. As a result users are able to improve the overall search and usage experience of technical content.
