Less Back-and-Forth Between Production and Technical Writers
When content from R&D/AV/Service reaches technical writers unstructured, assembly & service manuals get stuck in review and approval.
The hidden costs of inefficient content processes:
Unstructured content creates extra work and errors
Inconsistent information & terminology
Media breaks, lots of rework for technical writers
Do the math: 2 engineers + 1 technical writer, two weeks of extra effort per documentation project (e.g., commissioning chapter). How many thousand euros does this cost you?
Structured from the Start
No email back-and-forth, no rework on unstructured data: R&D creates content directly in the browser - structured and guided. AI checks for completeness and compliance in real-time. Technical writers receive ready DITA/S1000D and publish immediately.
-
Guided browser input for steps, warnings, tables & references (no tool installations)
-
AI + rules ensure completeness, consistency & compliance in real-time
-
Structured output (e.g., DITA/S1000D), seamlessly integrated with Teamcenter/Windchill/SharePoint/SAP
How it works
This is how scattered expertise becomes publication-ready content: your teams capture information where it is easiest—in the browser. AI and rules ensure completeness and consistency along the way, and the documentation team takes over in a structured format.
-
CaptureR&D, production planning, and service choose building blocks (step, safety note, table) and enter content in the browser.
-
ValidateAI & rules enforce mandatory fields, terminology, units, and correct references while writing.
-
Deliver & publishA structured document compliant with your XML standards flows into your system; the editorial team publishes as usual.

Questions & answers
Do we need a new system?
No. Your web-based, AI-supported authoring suite runs in the browser. Your backend (Teamcenter/Windchill/SharePoint/SAP/CCMS) stays in place.
Do subject-matter experts need to know XML?
No. Input is guided; the structured output is generated automatically and
integrates seamlessly into your editorial workflow.
How does the AI work?
The integrated generative AI checks mandatory elements, terminology consistency, and your bespoke quality criteria. Our AI runs either in your private cloud or on-premises.
Does the authoring solution run on-premises or in the cloud?
Both are possible—according to your security requirements. SSO is supported.
How long does implementation take? Is this a custom development?
Our web-based authoring solution is built on FontoXML, the leading XML editor for
structured content creation. We tailor the solution to your environment and requirements.
Depending on scope, the timeline ranges from a few weeks to several months.
