Uwe Reißenweber founds DOCUFY. His goal? To be one of the first players to optimize writing processes using XML.

The year is 2000. There are no efficient, high-power Component content management systems (CCMS) on the market. DOCUFY fills the gap by developing its own state-of-the-art, future-oriented XML systems that can even be customized to meet specific client needs.

The company’s expertise leads to the development of a universal basic system. COSIMA efficiently incorporates in-demand core functionalities into writing processes and significantly reduces the amount of time and effort necessary for implementation.

DOCUFY launches COSIMA go!, a CCMS that can be installed without a dedicated IT project. It proves to be an industry solution that is tailored to the needs of medium-sized businesses.

DOCUFY adds DOCUFY Machine Safety to its product portfolio as a complement to COSIMA, opening the doors to faster, more efficient technical writing. The software package simplifies the CE marking process and can be used as a structural foundation for creating technical documentation.

DOCUFY prepares its customers for a paperless future with TopicPilot. The mobile publication platform makes it possible to publish a wide range of information and complex documents with a minimum of time and effort – in Web- and smartphone-ready formats, both online and offline.

DOCUFY knows the added value of technical documentation and is making it possible to leverage its value throughout its clients’ companies, even in areas such as marketing and service. Thanks to its Multi-Level Documentation strategy, DOCUFY is the first in the industry to shape documentation and publication processes in such a way that every information unit makes an optimum contribution to a company’s success in every context!

On May 1, 2017, DOCUFY became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg).

Together, the two companies are digitizing the service for suppliers and operators of machines and systems, offering the best processes and tools on an open platform. This is what we call Service-as-a-Service.

In October 2017, DOCUFY presents its latest product: DOCUFY Layouter. This is an easy-to-use cloud solution that allows editors to design their own output layouts. Once defined, layouts can be transferred to derived layouts via intelligent inheritance mechanisms. This not only ensures consistent, corporate design-compliant output layouts, but also saves time and annoying coordination rounds.
