Business
Value
Improves marketability of your product or service - Professionally
created documentation improves the product or service image; it demonstrates
that you are serious about your business. Technical writing services provide qualitative
value: quality perceptions, satisfaction, confidence, and usefulness.
Increases effectiveness of business processes - Documentation assures consistent
implementation of processes and procedures by formalizing existing business
activities. This facilitates the monitoring and improvement of processes, procedures,
and policies.
Supports training of new and experienced employees - Online help files,
reference manuals, and user guides provide a means for business personnel to
learn independently on how to use the product or service. Computer based
training, and other electronic media, supply training for new and experienced
personnel. Documented operating procedures reduce the time to train new
employees and assist experienced members to consistently execute
procedures.
Transfers documentation tasks from managers and technical personnel -
Technical writing services provide a way to offload documentation assignments
from supervisory and technical personnel. This allows key business
personnel to concentrate on their core business competencies.
Facilitates changes in business - Providing documentation eases
organizational changes that occur during acquisitions, work force reductions, mergers,
and reorganizations. Technical writing services create an audit history, provide
efficient and consistent documentation processes, and maintain regulatory
standards.
Captures critical business knowledge - By documenting existing operating
procedures, the business knowledge is captured, thus reducing the dependence on
a few employees. Collaborative documentation provides a way to coordinate activities
between departments or within a department. Cross-functional communications standardize
how processes are implemented between departments and provide a single resource
for geographically dispersed organizations.
Reduces customer support expenses - Customer support expenses are
reduced because customers have a resource that provides solutions to their
problems.
