When an army defense contractor needed to update its electronic technical manuals it faced a huge challenge. Many of its content management systems were no longer supported; interactive graphics and audio/visual information couldn’t be viewed or printed on modern hardware.
Enter Innodata Isogen. We analyzed the content and the multiple set of links, designed a custom authorizing system and integrated the earlier data with a modern off-the-shelf platform. That meant contractors could easily take advantage of current market capabilities for the bulk of the needed functionality. As a result, manuals could be readily updated, shared with other contractors and viewed or published on standard computers and printers.
Defense companies are under constant pressure to not only deliver technical data in a timely and cost effective manner, but to also elegantly handle multiple revisions with varying applicability and format requirements. Adding to the challenge, they must also keep pace with the latest government regulations while incorporating new and emerging standards such as S1000D and SCORM, which are changing the landscape of technical documentation systems for defense industry contractors.
At the same time, defense agencies are continually struggling with strategies to effectively locate and use information.
Innodata Isogen can help defense companies as well as agencies address both information and content management challenges.

Innodata Isogen is a General Services Administration (GSA) approved provider of content-related IT and professional services for government organizations.
