Technical Writing - IT Systems Documentation
We fix broken and missing documents - to stop you losing customers and burning money on support.
Do you find that IT documentation is one of those things you mean to do, but there's never enough time to do it well, if at all? Imagine auditors descending on you and your project today: in truth, how would you feel?
Failed IT projects are often those projects that are not documented well. Important information is often stuck inside a few people's heads, some of whom who might not be involved in the project any more. Because documentation is crucial to your projects and contracts being finished successfully, it is important that it is done and done well.
It can take a lot of time and effort to produce documentation. You may lack the staff to do it, so you might find you'll need to bring in someone to do it for you. What would it mean if you could transfer the critical information to your clients, new starters, even users?
We explain specialist knowledge and best practice, in a clear and effective way, to the users that need it. The result - higher productivity and less risk.
Simply contact us by email or telephone. If you can, please state the issues you are interested in fixing. We'll respond by email or phone. If you have a particular project in mind, normally, we'll also send you a short, one-page questionnaire. This helps you and us to understand the issues you face and work on the best solutions for fixing these.
Creating a system that is more relevant and usable
Technical communicators:
- Spend significant amounts of time analysing users and helping them understand your new system.
- Communicate the needs and views of the users back to your developers.
- Contribute to the design of the user interface, assisting with the usability of your system.
The result: You are able to create a system that is more relevant and usable.
