The record

Product: DitaExchange manages DITA components in SharePoint, with authoring in Microsoft Word and review, approval, quality checks, and publishing in its platform.
Reuse: Dx5 lets teams update an approved content component once and refresh the documents assembled from it.
Authoring: DxAuthor+ is a Word add-in that applies DITA structure behind the scenes and supports tagging, cross-topic links, and content references.
Migration: DxMigrationTool imports Word, HTML, Markdown, and plain-text files, captures metadata, repairs links, and componentizes documents into topics.
Quality: DxChecker applies configurable machine-checkable content rules, including terminology, metadata, and controlled-language checks.
Publishing: Dx5 publishes content to Word, HTML, and XML and provides REST endpoints for downstream consumers.
Integrations: The maker lists native integration with Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, Power Automate, Power Apps, and Loop, plus Microsoft Entra ID single sign-on.
Deployment: The product supports SharePoint Online and SharePoint Server 2019 or Subscription Edition; DxAuthor+ can be customer-managed or hosted for SharePoint Online.
Security: DitaExchange says it runs inside the customer's Microsoft 365 tenant and uses its identity, access control, data residency, and audit log.
Compliance limit: The maker says Dx5 records component-level approvals but does not claim these are validated electronic signatures or Part 11 sign-offs.
Support: The contact page says inquiries typically reach the right person within one Danish or US East Coast business day.
Audience: Dx5 is aimed at organizations with regulatory, legal, financial, or operational consequences from inconsistent content and an existing Microsoft environment.
Limit: The maker says Dx5 has no help-authoring tool of its own and is probably not suitable for organizations that are not standardized on Microsoft 365.
Company: DitaExchange ApS is a Danish company headquartered in Aarhus and part of Wirtek A/S; its about page does not state a founding year.
