San Diego, CA, Jan. 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MadCap Software, Inc., the leader in multi-channel content authoring, management and publishing, backed by global investment firm Battery Ventures, today announced the acquisition of Xyleme, Inc., a leader in intelligent content management for the development, management, delivery, and syndication of vital proprietary learning and development (L&D) content across the enterprise. With the addition of Xyleme to the MadCap Software product portfolio, organizations worldwide will have a single source of trusted, enterprise-class solutions for their content needs—from delivering product and user documentation to onboarding new customers and upskilling their workforce.
MadCap Software has led the evolution of solutions for creating, managing and publishing modern technical documentation, such as support and Help portals, knowledge bases, instructional and procedure manuals, and more—all from a single source for any format, including online, mobile and print.
