S1000D
Crowell Solutions has significant experience in the implementation of S1000D projects. Services that we provide include:
System Design and Architecture
Designing the right architecture is crucial to a successful S1000D implementation. The consultants at Crowell Solutions understand both the concept and the use of S1000D and can work with you to design the right architecture for your needs.
Business Rule Development
Creating and implementing Business Rules is the cornerstone of a successful S1000D implementation. Crowell Solutions has industry-leading experience in helping our customers develop comprehensive sets of rules to drive the creation, publication, and storage of S1000D data. Visit S1000D Business Rules | Decision Point™ to learn about our S1000D Business Rule development process.
Incorporating Data into an IETM
Viewing data electronically, as an IETM (Interactive Electronic Technical Manual), is a requirement for most S1000D projects. Whether building an IETM from scratch or modifying a COTS application, we can help you format and render your technical data electronically in a way that makes sense to your users and meets your business needs.
Authoring Customizations
One of the easiest ways to realize time/cost savings is to automate difficult and repetitive authoring tasks. Our consultants are experts with respect to most XML authoring tools on the market, and can provide customizations that automate processes in order to improve the performance of your authors.
Integration with Existing Systems
It is often necessary to integrate a new S1000D system with existing applications. Whether these systems be Content Management applications, authoring tools or data bases, we can help make it happen.
CMS Customizations
Most Content Management Systems are fairly generic in their features and user interfaces. Our consultants can customize CMS applications so that they provide the functionality you require. These customizations can span from changing the base functionality of a CMS to developing new sets of user interfaces.
Link Management
Modular document formats like S1000D rely heavily on linking. As such, it is imperative that links do not break. Many CMS applications do not provide a mechanism to manage links. We can provide the ability to add link management, using open standards, to virtually any S1000D application.
Workflow Processes
Workflow processes are an indispensible component to an S1000D implementation. Workflows drive content through tasks such as authoring, review, approval, and delivery. We are experts at the implementation of workflow processes and workflow-driven software.
Applicability Management
With the advent of the S1000D applicability model, creating, maintaining, and delivering content with applicabilities has become significantly more complex. Our consultants have significant experience with this model, and can provide detailed knowledge on how to design the best model possible, how to maintain the model over time, and how to effectively deliver data to customers.
Specialized Publishing
With S1000D's modular format becoming the norm, many innovative techniques can be applied to publishing content to customers. This includes Single Source Publishing, realtime publishing, modular publishing, etc.
S1000D Conversion Services
Crowell Solutions can aid our customers through conversion of legacy content (both structured and unstructured) into S1000D. We have experience in converting content from ATA iSpec 2200, MilSpec formats, SGML/GML and other unstructured formats such as PDF and Frame, to S1000D using automated processes.
S1000D Training
Managers, Analysts, and Content Authors all need to understand S1000D, but from different perspectives. Crowell Solutions offers S1000D training that address the concerns typical for each group: what S1000D is, how an S1000D system should be designed and implemented, and how to create and edit S1000D content on a daily basis. more >>
