SCHEMA ST4 is a component content management system for the professional creation of technical documentation. SCHEMA ST4 is one of the most widely used software solutions of its type and makes the entire creation process easier and more efficient, saving costs in many areas.
Want to know more about SCHEMA ST4?
Technical writers face challenging tasks on a daily basis that can only really be overcome efficiently by well-designed professional tools.
The information model and user interface of SCHEMA ST4 has therefore been developed to offer maximum functionality and flexibility, whilst focusing on what’s really important.
Variants can result in quite a lot of redundant content that is either similar, or even almost identical, which, in updates, would all have to be amended individually. In SCHEMA ST4, you only need to create this type of content once - precisely in the form and size you require.
You then reference this modular content in your variants and as soon as the original is changed, the change is applied to all the variants as well.
With translation-oriented writing, your technical writers can save you a lot of money on translations. SCHEMA ST4 helps your entire team to create consistent content and the translation status provides a convenient overview of all your content.
With this overview and translation-oriented wording of your content, you can save unnecessary translations and avoid creating content that doesn’t actually need to be created or translated.
PDF, Word, HTML, or perhaps you prefer to provide content via an information portal? With SCHEMA ST4, you can produce the required target format at the touch of a button. Whatever the target format, you only create the required layouts once in SCHEMA ST4, which you then use when producing content. This means that you also only have to make changes once in one place; these changes are then copied for all future productions.
Do you have a little time? Our expert Christoph Kaemena will be happy to introduce you to SCHEMA ST4 in detail in this video.
You'll learn why the separation of content, structure, and layout is such a great advantage for technical writing and also in SCHEMA ST4, and you'll see the steps you go through from creation to publication in SCHEMA ST4.

Our solutions are scalable to suit your needs, making them flexible and adaptable to suit any digitization strategy in your business.
Even the standard version of SCHEMA ST4 allows so much to be achieved. For particularly individual requirements, we can modify your SCHEMA ST4 to suit your particular needs, or we can support you in creating layouts, workflows, and much more.
