Keep Training Aligned with Every Software Release
MadCap Create gives software and technology teams one source of truth for all training content. Component reuse and multi-format publishing keep certification courses and customer education current with each product release, so when something changes, you update the content once and republish.
Software & Technology Teams That Build with MadCap Create
60%
Reduction in Content Development Time
The Challenge: Instructors personalized PowerPoint® slide decks without sharing changes, leaving certification content inconsistent across delivery formats.
The Solution: Switched to MadCap Create’s structured authoring and online slides, replacing instructor-customized PowerPoint with one validated source for every certification course.
The Result: Consistent certification delivery across every instructor, with 60% less content development time as an added efficiency gain.
Weeks → Hours
Brand Rollout Across Training Content
The Challenge: Sage was caught in a reactive approach to managing training content, which took too much time and resources for little gain. They had a rebranding project coming up and needed a way to rebrand quickly and seamlessly.
The Solution: Used MadCap Create’s web output templates and global search and replace to swap brand elements, terminology, and visual assets across every training program at once.
The Result: Sage Intacct propagated full rebranding across every training program in hours instead of 4 weeks, and scaled its customer education program without scaling headcount.
Software product training and customer education refers to structured learning programs that software and SaaS companies use to teach customers, partners, and employees how to use, configure, administer, and integrate their products. Programs typically include new-user onboarding, feature tutorials, role-based certification, and release training. MadCap Create supports this work as a browser-based authoring tool where teams combine text, screenshots, video, simulations, and knowledge checks, then publish SCORM 1.2 or SCORM 2004 packages for delivery through any learning management system, or export to Word, PDF, or HTML for direct customer delivery.

Create’s component-based authoring system stores product feature descriptions, UI references, and procedural steps as reusable building blocks. When a feature changes in a new release, you update the component once, publish, and the change propagates across every course, quick start guide, and certification module that reuses it.
Create publishes to SCORM, HTML5, PDF, and Word, so your training works with virtually any LMS your customers or internal teams use. Customers upload the published content to their LMS once (manually or via API). Pair Create with MadCap SyndicateAI, and subsequent updates flow to the LMS without manual re-uploads.
Many software companies use MadCap Flare for technical documentation and MadCap Create for training content, with MadCap SyndicateAI as a unified delivery layer.
