Chalkline

Chalkline provides Specification and Document Management, Model Integration, Collaboration, and Software Customization. In practice that means writing and editing documents together with comments and versions.

It makes the most sense for teams that produce a lot of documents. Related areas on their profile: Architecture and Document Management. As a small product team themselves (11 to 50 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

Chalkline is based in Portland, Maine. Their site is chalklineinc.com.
