Assistance in Choosing Authoring Tools
|
|
|
Free of any sales motives, we can help you to choose the right authoring tools and utilities to create technical documentation, especially software documentation such as user manuals and online help files. In addition to consulting, we can also assist you hands-on in creating the required templates and in setting up the generation process within the chosen tools.
Do you need an authoring tool to write software documentation (user manuals, online help, screencasis) yourself? Or are you no longer fully satisfied with your current tools?
Decisions at this point have a strategic impact:
| ▪ | on the quality of the output |
| ▪ | on the efficiency of creation, production and translation |
| ▪ | on process reliability in times of tight deadlines |
Should it turn out later that your decision was wrong, things will become expensive: new investments into other software, repeated training of staff, repeated setup of templates and workflows, and the conversion of documents that have already been created with the old tools.
|
With a background of many years of experience in planning and writing technical documentation, we can analyze your specific requirements. Based on these requirements we can then present a preselection of tools that meet these requirements as best as possible, and we can explain the specific advantages and disadvantages to you.
This gives you a well-founded basis for your decision. We’re free of any sales motives of a specific tool. Therefore, our advice will be absolutely neutral and vendor independent. For the same reason, we’ll not procure any tools for you. To buy a specific tool, please contact the maker or distributor directly.
In addition to consulting, we can also create the required templates and set up the workflow within the chosen system.
