Christoph Beenen
Management Consultant for content management systems at kothes
We support you from system selection, through migration and integration, to ongoing operation. Everything from a single source.
The focus is on the best solution for you – not on selling a specific product.
From the initial selection to ongoing operation: we take care of implementation, migration and support.
kothes and EC Systems have been partners since 2022 – for reliable collaboration and direct communication.
We use the SMC content management system ourselves and, through our experience on numerous projects, know what really matters.
We use tried-and-tested methods to guide your project safely and efficiently through to a successful go-live.
Even after you have selected a system, we will continue to support you with any questions relating to your documentation processes.

kothes has been a partner of EC Systems since 2022. Through regular exchange and our own productive use of Smart Media Creator, we are familiar with the content management system from the day-to-day work of technical writers and, therefore, also with its functions and integration options.
For you, this means: in-depth expert knowledge, tried-and-tested solutions and state-of-the-art advice. Whether you need support with purchasing licences, training, implementation or optimisation, kothes helps you harness the full potential of Smart Media Creator within your organisation.


Je mehr wir vorab über Ihr Projekt wissen, desto gezielter können wir das Gespräch vorbereiten. Beantworten Sie ein paar kurze Fragen – das dauert etwa 2 Minuten und spart im Termin wertvolle Zeit.
The costs depend on the individual scope of the project. Influencing factors include, for example, the number of licences, the desired modules, existing system landscapes and the integrations required.
In a non-binding initial meeting, we will analyse your requirements and give you a well-founded assessment. If desired, we will then draw up a transparent offer.
Yes. We support you in the structured migration of existing content to the SMC content management system – for example, from Word, InDesign or other editorial and content systems.
In doing so, we take into account, among other things, content structures, metadata, variants, terminology and quality requirements.
Depending on your company's requirements, the SMC content management system can be integrated into different system and hosting concepts. These include, for example, cloud or on-premises scenarios.
We support you in assessing the requirements for data security, IT architecture and compliance at an early stage and in incorporating them into the introduction concept.
The SMC content management system is designed for the structured and scalable management of technical content. Thanks to features such as variant management, interfaces and different output formats, it can be adapted to changing requirements.
Even after the system has been introduced, we will support you with updates, extensions and the continuous optimisation of your information processes.
We will get back to you as soon as possible.
