The enterprise content supply chain
Improving enterprise content quality, consistency, and compliance at every stage of enterprise content production
Demand for content is soaring. As creation velocity needs increase, enterprises augment their content supply chain with automated content governance for improved efficiency and quality-assurance of writing standards.
What is a content supply chain?
A content supply chain is the entirety of your content production process across human, technology, and automated processes. A strong content supply chain strategy covers each area of the entire content lifecycle, which includes:
Content planning
Editorial review
Content approval
Delivering content
Creating content assets
Quality & performance
Content management
Why is a content supply chain important for your enterprise?
A strong content supply chain streamlines your overall production. Enterprises that prioritize content supply chain practices see benefits across the organization:
Increased efficiency in content creation and editing
Improved quality of content assets
Personalized experiences that appeal to your target audience
Improved deployment of generative AI technology
Fewer content errors, and subsequently a reduced compliance risk
Strategic insights into content quality and performance along the entire content supply chain

How Acrolinx adds content governance to your content supply chain
Automated content governance
Acrolinx automates quality checks documents across content repositories and workflows. It scans large volumes of content at once, identifying content issues against your organization's writing standards and compliance guidelines. This way, it helps you enforce consistency, clarity, and adherence to standards.
Our content governance software integrates with content management systems (CMS) or repositories. Adding automation to your content workflows allows you to evaluate and improve content quality at scale. With Acrolinx, there’s no need to rely on manual review alone. Our software streamlines content governance and reduces errors across various formats.
Checking multiple documents in a repository
Acrolinx checks published web content and documentation at scale by crawling websites and digital repositories. It evaluates content against your enterprise writing standards, identifying unclear, disrespectful, and non-compliant content. This automated process enables large-scale content assessment to improve quality across all digital assets efficiently.
Content quality assurance for writers
Acrolinx streamlines your content creation workflow by providing instant, AI-powered guidance to writers. It checks your content to make sure it meets your unique enterprise writing standards.
Quality checking includes tone, terminology, clarity, consistency, and inclusivity and more. Acrolinx integrates with popular writing tools.

Editorial review of content
Acrolinx helps content editors correct content faster by providing AI suggestions on grammar, style, tone, and terminology. It highlights issues directly within the content. Thus, it guides editors to align content to corporate writing standards quickly and with ease. This streamlines the editing process, reduces manual review, and creates consistent, high-quality content.
Measuring quality and performance of published content
Acrolinx integrates with analytics tools like Google and Adobe Analytics to correlate content quality with engagement. This data-driven insight helps refine content strategy, aligning high-quality content with better audience engagement and business outcomes.
Enterprises anticipate drastic increases in content production
According to a recent Adobe Survey, 88% of respondents reported that “the demand for content has doubled in the last two years. Additionally, about two-thirds said they expect content demand to increase between 5 and 20 times over the next two years."
The problem is that today the process is manual, inefficient, and risky. The risk skyrockets when generative AI is involved. While all organizations have some form of a content supply chain to streamline content strategy and creation, IBM recognizes that best practices and governance are the missing links.
Acrolinx is the enterprise solution to bring automated content governance into your content supply chain. With AI Guardrails and automated quality checking, Acrolinx reduces regulatory risk while scaling enterprise content production.
