Courses in automated documentation processes will help the export industry to great cost reductions.

Many export companies have a common problem that is getting increasingly actual during times of recession and needs of cost reductions. The production of technic documentation is still done manually and it costs a fortune. For companies that are expanding and want to conquer new markets the costs of translations and additional work hours easily culminates. This is wholly unnecessary. Excosoft provides a solution that automates the documentation process. The company is currently doing a large investment into a new area of business; Excosoft Training & Seminars, to push more companies into daring to make the tech-leap and discover the economical benefits with an automated production of for example manuals.

When Asko Appliances sales company in Russia calls to Sweden and orders a new user guide it is produced in five minutes without smiting the company with new translation costs. At Flir Systems in Danderyd, which is world-leading in the production of heat-cameras there is no more than one scribe. He alone produces 700 user guides in 21 languages in one year. The companies have one thing in common. They have both taken the step from manual document production to an automated and rationalized documentation process. A couple of effects are large cost reductions but also better manuals and user guides.

There is one more thing that unites the companies, and that is that there are an intern engagement for the documentation questions that stretches all the way up to the heads of the corporations. The companies also see user guides and manuals as a part of the total product delivery, and that is part of the companies' trademark strategies.

"It is amazing to see the effects of automation. Work moments that earlier took a week wont take more than a couple of minutes now, and that the translation costs are greatly reduced after introducing a structured way of working saves the company large amounts of funds. There is also many other effects from rationalizing which gives meaningful cost reductions. One of our goals is to get many more leaders of companies to realize what benefits automation provides. Without support from the top of the company it is hard to implement meaningful changes through automation." says Therese Hermansson who is responsible for Excosofts new business area, Excosoft Training & Seminars.

The business area has recently launched a program with courses, seminars and workshops that are targeted at tech-authors and tech-information officers as much as they are targeted at corporation leaders, product developers, marketing and sales managers. The program will successfully grow as time passes. More information can be found at www.excosoft.se
