Technical Authoring

Technical authoring (or technical writing) is a skill vital to the production of high quality documentation, yet many companies seem to be unaware of - or seem to ignore - the need for this skill, preferring to try and produce any necessary documentation in-house, often in a fairly ad hoc manner.

Before you decide to either produce your documentation yourselves, or to approach another company to assist you, why not consider the following frequently asked questions. Click on the appropriate link to see our response, which may give you 'some food for thought'.

	Isn't getting outside contractors to produce our documentation too expensive ?
	Don't my own employees know best what to include in the documentation ?
	Doesn't it take too long to get the documentation produced by outside contractors ?
	Isn't my product too complicated for an outside technical author to understand ?
	Why can't we produce all of our own documentation ourselves ?
