Aerospace and Defense

Aerospace and defense organizations generate huge volumes of technical documentation to market, operate, and service aircraft and other complex products. SDL solutions enable the efficient creation, maintenance, and delivery of dynamic technical documentation into multiple languages

With the continuing evolution of government and industry procurement practices and spending trends, aerospace and defense companies are under increasing pressure to increase operational efficiency and become more responsive to the needs of the global client

Yet the complexity of aerospace and defense product documentation, developed by many authors around the globe with different authoring systems, spread across numerous regional markets requiring specific language, cultural and regulatory treatment, adds further complexity. For many global aerospace and defense organizations, this complexity has significantly inhibited rapid product and market roll-out and the achievement of scale economies in multilingual delivery.

Until now.

SDL simplifies global content delivery for rapid roll out

SDL’s global information management (GIM) solutions allow you to centralize processes for multilingual delivery, enabling you to:

• Re-use approved technical content across multiple documents and delivery channels (e.g. Web, CDs and printed owners and service manuals)

• Speed content authoring processes, improving content consistency and quality and lowering process costs

• Build brand messaging consistency across all content and delivery mechanisms

• Leverage and re-use content created in any authoring environment, in any language – further exploiting existing information assets

• Streamline localization processes, through any combination of project in-sourcing or outsourcing

• Provide an enterprise-wide platform for rapid renewal of content wherever used

SDL can help you streamline your documentation process to make it more flexible, responsive and cost effective. We can rework your existing content to protect your information investment while giving you access to the benefits of the latest tools and techniques. Our expertise includes the creation of information in accordance with all common industry standards, such as ATA iSpec 2200 and AECMA 1000D.
