Technical writing
Well-formed technical documents are important to the software development and engineering process. Xceedia produces technical documentation for technical, business, and consumer audiences. We design, write, create, maintain, and update technical documentation—including online help, user guides, white papers, design specifications, system manuals, and other documents.
Technical documents follow common publishing guidelines. Technical documentation comes in many styles and formats, depending on the medium. Printed documentation has different standards from online documentation.
We understand and apply formatting conventions and standard style guides prescribed for the kind of document to be created and typically use the Chicago Manual of Style (CMS) and the Microsoft Manual of Style for Technical Publications . Alternatively we use our client's own corporate style guides,typically extensions of the CMS that cover specific corporate issues.
Engineering projects, particularly defense or aerospace related projects, often follow national and international documentation standards—such as ATA100 for civil aircraft, or S1000D for defense platforms. As part of your project team, Xceedia develops the overall project documentation, as other members of the team develop other areas of the project. For example, as your engineers design and integrate a system, we generates the manuals that go with the system.
