In a knowledge-driven economy, information is the key to a company's success. However, just having information is not enough. To ensure efficiency across the entire enterprise, companies need to organize and document their knowledge, and disseminate key information to provide decision support and facilitate cross-functional activity. Without easy access to the right tools and information, your company will waste valuable time and resources that could better be used to serve customers.

Digital Scribe's consultants can work with all types of information, and organize it for easy access and distribution. We can use both online and print-based media to support your user documentation and training efforts.

Documentation

Digital Scribe specializes in online documentation design and creation, and performance support. Our consultants are well versed in the latest technologies and methods for online Help and manuals. The following sections describe our areas of expertise.

Online Documentation

Online media provide centralized access to your company’s information, and can reduce the duplication and distribution costs associated with printed materials. Some examples of online media are:

  • Windows Help
  • HTML Help
  • Web Help
  • Portable document format
  • Web-based format

Print-based Documentation

For user audiences that are not yet comfortable with online formats, Digital Scribe can create print-based documentation. We have solutions to address every challenge, including space constraints, constant updates, and organization of large amounts of information. To support future needs, we can design printed-based documentation for easy conversion to online formats. The following list shows some of the printed materials we create most often:

  • User's Guides
  • Quick Start Guides
  • System Administrator's Guides
  • Installation Guides
  • Reference Manuals
  • Quick Reference flip books and charts

Training

Digital Scribe can provide training solutions to address the performance gaps in your organization. These solutions include traditional classroom training, as well as various online training delivery strategies. Our consultants can work effectively with the key stakeholders in your company to:

  • Identify the specific needs of your training audience
  • Set the overall direction and goals of your training program
  • Design strategies to achieve your training goals
  • Develop a comprehensive course curriculum to deliver your training content

Because we believe that training and documentation should go hand in hand, Digital Scribe strives to create training programs that are integrated with your company’s documentation efforts. For example, we can design training course materials so that they can be readily “repurposed” to serve as documentation. Our consultants are experts at creating:

  • Student guides
  • Instructor guides
  • Reference-based training
