In addition, deploying DITA does not change the fact that organizations will require business-specific authoring, content management and publishing systems.
Now that DITA has officially been accepted as an information standard by OASIS, many software companies are starting to provide tools with "out-of-the-box" functionality to support DITA. However, few of these tools satisfy all specific requirements for an organization. Therefore, many companies still need to review their content models and, as in any other XML development, plan for ways to develop and maintain their authoring, management and publishing infrastructures.
