Ictect offers the best alternative to Inera eXtyles. In addition, our flagship product icTools also offers the possibility of modernizing your publishing workflow and reducing per article cost. We are currently working with customers under contract to replace Inera eXtyles with icTools. We invite you to join the webinar – icTools for replacing Inera eXtyles and Modernizing Publishing Workflow.
Standards development processes require conversion of formats and use of tools that are inefficient and costly. Some organizations also outsource aspects of their standards development process. By using a single software that is most common in the standards development organizations – Microsoft Word, icTools streamlines the publishing process and reduces cost. See our case study for Air Force eliminating outsourcing and reducing the cost by 60% and improving publishing time from 29 days to 11 days.
The software also offers built-in quality checks for publishers. Quality checks can be customized for your specific needs beyond just the style guide.

We are a partner with Newgen, a company with 1200+ employees offering XML conversion services to clients worldwide. Together, Ictect software and Newgen resources have successfully completed contracts for conversion of documents to STS XML. Please contact us for details including demonstration and client references.
In Standards Development Organizations (SDO), document workflows can be overly complex and inefficient, especially when dealing with XML standards like STS.
