Flare 11.0 Features Next-Gen Frameless Output, Embedded YouTube and Vimeo, 3D Graphics, Augmented Reality, Absolute Positioning, Import of Doc-To-Help Word-Based Content, Git Integration and More La Jolla, CA, USA – March 17, 2015 – MadCap Software, Inc., the leader in multi-channel content authoring and a showcase company for Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) Visual Studio, today announced that MadCap Flare 11.0 is now available. Flare, MadCap’s flagship software, is the most advanced single-source, multi-channel authoring and publishing solution available today, supporting the ability to publish to a number of devices and formats including print, Web, desktop and mobile. MadCap Flare 11.0 introduces a new industry paradigm by adding the ability to break the traditional tri-pane delivery of online Help and technical content delivery and giving technical authors the ability to publish out-of-the-box "frameless" output for HTML5 that more closely resembles a modern, SEO-optimized, and completely customizable informational website. Flare 11.0 also adds Universal 3D (U3D) format support for adding realistic, interactive images to output; the ability to embed YouTube and Vimeo movies directly into Flare output; and integration with Metaio Creator to support augmented reality—the ability to scan any content element with a mobile device and display any type of additional material and graphics, including interactive 3D models and animations. At the same time, new features in MadCap Flare 11.0 enhance the content author’s experience and authoring efficiency. These include the ability to build output targets while creating content; absolute positioning to control where graphics and other images are placed within text simply by dragging and dropping them; and PDF stitching that allows authors to combine several existing PDF files into one cohesive PDF file. Additionally, Flare 11.0 provides integration with MadCap Software’s latest software acquisition, Doc-To-Help, the market’s leading Microsoft Word-based authoring tool for multi-channel publishing. Also included in Flare 11.0 are features for expanded content management and team authoring through enhanced support for various source control applications as well as integration with Git. “Multi-channel publishing is rapidly gaining mainstream adoption as more companies aim to synchronize content across multiple devices and deliver content to meet users’ expectations in a modern, informational website-type format,” said Anthony Olivier, MadCap founder and CEO. “W

Use of MadTranslations Allowed Miro Technologies to Complete Initial Translations of its Flagship GOLDesp™ Software and New Transportation Management System into Arabic in Three Months La Jolla, CA — July 30, 2014 — Miro Technologies has selected MadTranslations, Inc., a subsidiary of MadCap Software, as its provider of translation and localization services. Miro is a leading supplier of maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) and supply management software to the aerospace and defense (A&D) and commercial MRO sectors. Working with MadTranslations, Miro was able to complete initial translations of both its flagship GOLDesp software and newly developed Transportation Management System into Arabic in three months. "Embarking on this new initiative of Arabic translation, it gave us confidence to know that MadCap and MadTranslations were also committed to the success and understanding of the project,” said Steve Walker, product manager for Miro Technologies. “We have appreciated the continued support of our global efforts and dedication to providing leading-edge services worldwide.” A Complete Solution for Localized Communications In early 2014, a Middle Eastern military customer asked Miro to deploy its solutions in Arabic. After careful evaluation, Miro selected the MadPak Suite as a complete set of tools to help modernize its online Help and further deploy it in multiple languages. First, Miro took advantage of MadCap Flare's native authoring and publishing for right-to-left (RTL) languages, including Arabic. Miro then engaged MadTranslations to translate the terminology and project files for its GOLDesp software and Transportation Management System into Arabic. Given the seamless integration of MadCap products, MadTranslations was the natural choice to handle its translation and localization goals. Through a deep understanding of content authoring, the file structure of MadCap products, and the translation process, MadTranslations was able to complete the initial translation of Miro’s content within three months. Additionally, MadTranslations has helped to solidify the translations assets so that future updates can be handled in a timely, highly cost-efficient manner using the project update function in MadCap Lingo, the fully integrated translation tool for translators and content developers. “Offering integration with MadCap Flare, MadTranslations is by far the best solution for helping us meet our customer requirements, and MadCap has provided superb assistance in helping us maximize the functio

Integration Solution Streamlines and Simplifies Documentation Management for Complex Product Lines, Enabling New Levels of Efficiency AUSTIN, Texas and LA JOLLA, California — July 14, 2014 — BigLever Software, the leading provider of product line engineering (PLE) solutions, and MadCap Software, the leading technical communication software provider, announced today that the companies have partnered to integrate MadCap Flare with BigLever’s Gears PLE solution. The new bridge integration optimizes document sharing and dramatically simplifies the complexity of documentation management for organizations that develop and deliver complex product lines. As a result, organizations can streamline technical communications throughout product engineering and business operations to achieve new levels of efficiency. Organizations that build complex product lines inherently have large sets of documentation that play a vital role in the creation, delivery and maintenance of their product lines, as well as in the use of their products by end users. These companies must effectively manage a broad array of technical specifications and all of the diversity needed to support the different “flavors” of products within a product line family. The new bridge integration solution combines the capabilities of MadCap Flare and BigLever Gears to provide a single, unified mechanism for end-to-end document management across each stage of the product engineering lifecycle, and throughout business operations such as portfolio planning and definition, marketing, sales, manufacturing, deployment, service, and finely tailored documentation for end users. "The BigLever/MadCap partnership is not only beneficial to their mutual customers, but also offers an interesting opportunity for companies needing to automate similar complex interactions and tasks,” said Allan Behrens, Managing Director of leading technology consulting firm Taxal. "This type of product line approach to engineering and documentation should bring significant business value to their customers by enabling them to more effectively automate product variation across a broader set of operational processes and applications.” According to Dr. Charles Krueger, BigLever Software CEO, the Flare/Gears Bridge allows companies to establish well-structured and consolidated document “supersets” that support the full diversity of documents in a product line. These document supersets can be automatically configured based on the specific features of the individual products within the produc

The result is content that is more findable, readable, and engaging. Mutual customers now have access to the power of Acrolinx to analyze their technical content against corporate standards for style, tone of voice, and terminology; guide writers to improve their content; and deliver analytics that show their results,” said Francis Novak, VP of Product Management. “This is a big and exciting step forward.” “We are seeing a rapid rise in the global adoption of our MadCap Flare software for single-source publishing of a range of technical, corporate and marketing content—in print and on the Web, desktops, and mobile devices,” said MadCap Founder and CEO Anthony Olivier. “The partnership with Acrolinx and integration of our software extend our commitment to delivering software that empowers our customers to deliver superior content to their users.” Acrolinx will present its integration with MadCap Flare at the MadWorld 2014 conference in San Diego on April 15 as well as with a webinar on April 23.
