About The Rockley Group

The Rockley Group helps content managers and authors meet the increasing demands of creating, distributing and managing the content they create. Our team of experienced analysts bring a wide variety of expertise to the table and can help you avoid expensive pitfalls. Organizations of all sizes -- from small, privately-owned firms to multi-national Fortune 500 companies -- trust us with their most important content projects. We serve clients in the Financial, Life Sciences, and High Technology industries, as well as others in the Communication, Marketing and Retail Sales markets. We’ve developed content reuse solutions that reduce the cost and effort to produce complex information products including: marketing collateral, software documentation, online help, customer support materials, human resources content, as well as regulatory documents for pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers.

The Rockley Group was established in 1995 to serve the information creation community. Founding president Ann Rockley has more than 20 years’ experience in online documentation, web design, instructional design, enterprise content management and content reuse (single sourcing). But The Rockley Group is more than a one person shop. Our team of experienced analysts, instructional and online content designers, information architects, project managers, information technologists, editors, writers, programmer analysts, and engineers provide our clients with the skills necessary to deliver content management solutions that work.

The Rockley Group has been in the forefront of content development research, and has assisted in the evolution of industry standards for online documentation, web-based instructional design, content reuse, and enterprise content management. We’re passionately committed to discovering innovations in the field of content design and management. This commitment is evident in our belief in education as part of their responsibility to the information creation community. Senior members of The Rockley Group team regularly teach university courses and seminars, speak at industry conferences, publishes articles, and present workshops and papers around the world related to XML, enterprise content management, e-learning and single sourcing. And, several members of our team serve on committees designed to establish international standards for content management, information design, and documentation development.

Our commitment to education doesn’t stop there. We’ve documented our methodologies in our recently published book, Managing Enterprise Content: A Unified Content Strategy (ISBN 0735713065) New Riders Publishing. Authored by Ann Rockley with senior team members Pamela Kostur and Steve Manning, the strategies introduced in Managing Enterprise Content have been heralded as content management best practices and have been adopted by some of the world’s largest organizations.
