"Excosoft Skribenta has done for document automation what Henry Ford did for automating the auto industry."

In 1908, the world was amazed by Henry Ford's new industrial production process – Fordism. A new Ford Model T left the production line every 24 seconds, which meant that the price of a car fell rapidly. In 1908, a Model T cost $950, and by 1927 the price had fallen to just $250. Fewer workers on the production line were able to produce many more cars thanks to Henry Ford's automation ideas.

Over the last few years, Excosoft Skribenta has introduced the same automation revolution into the technical documentation process. Technical documentation includes user guides, installation manuals, operating instructions and other information-intensive technical material that every consumer product needs.

So how does Skribenta automate document production?

• With Skribenta, a user can produce a new manual in a new language in literary a matter of minutes. Not five weeks, five days, five hours... but five minutes! And often without any additional translation costs.
• The concept of Skribenta is that you only have to add the relevant details for a newly developed product to an existing document. You simply change a few parameters in a "recipe". It may take fifteen minutes to make the necessary parameter changes and another 15 minutes to generate and publish a manual into 30 languages. Translation costs? None at all.
• Suppose two companies have merged, a new logo is created and needs to be added to 600 manuals. Traditionally, this would take a while... With Skribenta, all you need to do is change the stylesheet and a parameter in the recipe. The process is completed by the end of your coffee break.
• Skribenta allows your technical writers to spend time on their primary task: to produce high quality technical documentation. Writers can now spend more time leaning how to use the product and explaining it to the end user. The Skribenta effect is not just about lower costs and better efficiency, it is also about increasing the quality of the content and ultimately, developing the company brand!
