Pump manufacturer turns to publishing
software
With Arbortext software ITT Flygt can now take a component-based approach to authoring technical publications, enabling them to provide continuously updated technical documentation.
ITT Flygt, a manufacturer of submersible pumps, mixers and accessories, is using PTC Arbortext Dynamic Publishing Software to optimise its content creation and dynamic publishing processes The software will allow ITT Flygt to create, manage and deliver accurate, timely and localised documentation used in the service and maintenance of its products
As part of its product service commitment, ITT Flygt faced the challenge of on-going maintenance requests and the growing requirement to quickly create and deliver high-quality technical documentation through its products' lifecycles.
This is the result of the increased usability demands on documentation from customers who require highly accurate content and have specific language and document format preferences.
ITT Flygt chose PTC's Dynamic Publishing Solution because it would enable the company to optimise its complex publishing process by creating information that can be re-used, repurposed and automatically published in multiple languages and formats.
With Arbortext software ITT Flygt can now take a component-based approach to authoring technical publications, enabling them to provide continuously updated technical documentation throughout the product lifecycle as well as quickly localise its technical documentation in order to deliver new products to market faster.
"The timely delivery of localised documentation is critical for the market success of our new products", said Agneta Weisberg, manager of technical documentation, ITT Flygt.
"Because regulations in Europe and elsewhere have become very strict, ITT is often required to produce appropriate documentation in a local language in order to introduce a new product to key markets".
"We are using PTC's Dynamic Publishing Solution because of its scalability and flexibility to address this challenge".
"We are a global company and it is important to us that our solutions support a global strategy".
"Our publishing solutions provide powerful capabilities that enable organisations like ITT Flygt to deliver increasingly greater amounts of technical documentation over long product lifecycles to a wide variety of audiences", said Josh Fredberg, Vice President of Product and Market Strategy, PTC.
"The PTC Dynamic Publishing Solution allows companies to standardise how product documentation is created, managed and delivered in order to efficiently and cost-effectively optimise the technical publications processes".
PTC's Product Development System (PDS) helps companies optimise a wide variety of product development processes, including technical publications.
For technical publications, the PDS combines text authoring, technical illustrations, content management and configuration management, dynamic publishing and graphics visualisation.
Additionally, the PDS enables an organisation to automatically publish information in multiple formats, languages, and media.
PTC's integral system lowers deployment risks and support costs by providing interoperability and integration of all components.
