Regulated industries face impossible choices: use modern tools and risk compliance violations, or stick with outdated systems that slow everyone down. You need both compliance and capability.
Why Docsie
Finally, a technical writing platform that gives your team modern capabilities without the compliance headaches.
Every document, every version, every AI process runs exclusively on your infrastructure. When auditors ask where customer data lives, you point to your own data center. No shared tenancy, no data crossing borders, no explaining cloud storage policies.
Your team doesn't wait months for a deployment project. Automated provisioning means you go from approval to writers working in the system in under half an hour. Same day security review, same day productivity gains.
Your writers don't lose out on AI-powered content suggestions, smart search, or automated formatting just because you're on-premise. The full AI stack runs locally, using your compute resources, never sending content outside your network.
Technical writing teams in regulated environments trust Docsie to balance modern capabilities with strict compliance requirements.
A medical device manufacturer needed to modernize documentation for 100+ products while maintaining CFR Part 11 compliance. Their legacy system couldn't track changes properly, but cloud tools were prohibited for PHI-adjacent content. Docsie gave them version control and collaboration without data leaving their validated environment.
A regional bank's technical writing team was managing product documentation, compliance procedures, and customer-facing guides across multiple systems. Regulators required proof that no customer information was processed outside specific geographic boundaries. On-premise Docsie let them consolidate everything while maintaining complete data residency.
A defense contractor's technical publications team creates documentation for systems with export restrictions. Cloud solutions were automatically disqualified, and their current tools had no collaboration features. They needed modern workflow without any possibility of data leaving approved networks.
Everything your team needs for modern technical documentation, running entirely on your infrastructure.
Deployed on your servers, in your data center, behind your firewall—you have complete control over every aspect of the environment.
Multiple writers work on the same document simultaneously, see each other's changes live, and resolve conflicts instantly.
Track every change, revert to any previous version, and maintain complete audit trails without learning Git.
Manage translations for the same content across dozens of languages, with AI-assisted consistency checking.
Writers and readers find what they need instantly with AI-powered search that understands technical concepts, not just keywords.
Automated provisioning gets your entire team up and running the same day, not the same quarter.
Common Questions
Answers to the questions we hear from technical writing teams evaluating on-premise solutions.
Q: How long does it actually take to get Docsie running in our environment?
A: Automated provisioning takes about 25 minutes from start to finish. Most teams schedule a morning deployment and have writers creating content that afternoon. Your IT team reviews the deployment plan, we kick off the automation, and it handles the installation.
Q: Do we need specialized IT staff to maintain the on-premise installation?
A: No specialized training required. Your existing IT team manages it like any other internal application. Updates are automated, monitoring integrates with your existing tools, and our support team helps with anything unusual.
Q: Can we import our existing documentation from our current tools?
A: Yes. Docsie imports from Word, Confluence, SharePoint, legacy help authoring tools, and most other common formats. We provide migration assistance to make sure nothing gets lost in the transition.
Q: What compliance frameworks does Docsie support for on-premise deployments?
A: On-premise Docsie supports your compliance requirements because it runs entirely on your infrastructure. Teams use it for HIPAA, SOC 2, ITAR, FedRAMP environments, and industry-specific regulations. Since you control the infrastructure, you control the compliance posture.
Q: Does the AI functionality send any content outside our network?
A: No. The AI features run completely locally on your infrastructure. Nothing is sent to external services, cloud APIs, or third-party AI providers. Your content stays in your environment, processed by compute resources you control.
