Concept

We provide support for the entire technical documentation workflow—from vulnerability analysis through content and layout concepts to your customized editorial guidelines.

With well-thought-out concepts, tecteam ensures effective and efficient editorial processes.

Vulnerability Analysis

Do you need help creating or improving your technical documentation? We analyze your existing documentation and evaluate it with regard to:

  • Target Audience Focus
  • Completeness of the Information
  • Outline Structure
  • Comprehensibility of Text and Images
  • Typography and Layout
  • Compliance with Standards, Guidelines, and Legal Requirements

You’ll gain a comprehensive overview of the opportunities for improvement available to you. You’ll benefit from our many years of experience: We know that our customers’ diverse needs and preferences require customized solutions for specific markets.

Content and Layout Concepts

We’ll clarify your needs and preferences for successfully defining goals by asking the following questions:

  • What needs to be documented?
  • In what format must the documentation be provided?
  • What legal and regulatory requirements must be met?
  • What are the competitors doing?

In addition to defining your goals for coherent content and layout concepts, you need to determine how you plan to achieve these goals.
The following questions can be helpful in this regard:

  • Can we keep doing things the way we have been?
  • What can we do better?
  • What means and methods are available to us?
  • What processes and structures are necessary for this?
  • What costs can we expect?
