Whether you need a single guide written well or an entire documentation operation rebuilt, we cover the full lifecycle—creation, structure, governance, translation, and long-term maintenance.
01 — Technical Documentation
Documentation your customers can actually use.
Clear, accurate documentation for users, administrators, operators, and technical teams. We work with your subject matter experts to capture what they know, then turn it into content that answers real questions—so customers succeed on their own and support volumes drop.
Every deliverable is structured for findability, written to your audience's level, and built to be maintained, not just published.
User guides and administrator guides
Installation, configuration, and deployment guides
API documentation and developer references
Online help systems and knowledge bases
Release notes and change documentation
Procedures, work instructions, and operator content
02 — Documentation Strategy
A plan for documentation that outlasts the quarter.
Most documentation problems are organizational, not editorial. Nobody owns the docs, standards don't exist, and updates depend on goodwill. We fix the system: clear ownership, realistic standards, governance that fits your culture, and a roadmap aligned with where your product is going.
It starts with an honest audit—what you have, what's missing, what it costs you—and ends with a strategy your team can actually execute.
Documentation audits and gap analysis
Documentation governance and ownership models
Style guides, standards, and templates
Information architecture and content planning
Documentation roadmaps tied to product releases
Metrics and quality criteria you can measure
03 — Structured Content & DITA
Write once. Publish everywhere. Stop duplicating.
When the same warning, procedure, or specification lives in five documents, every change is five chances to introduce an error. Structured authoring fixes this at the architectural level: modular content, deliberate reuse, and consistent output across every channel and format.
We bring deep DITA and structured-content expertise—as a methodology, not a product pitch. If a component content management system makes sense for your scale, we'll help you choose and adopt one that fits. If it doesn't, we'll tell you.
DITA consulting and adoption support
Content modeling and reuse strategy
Structured authoring guidelines and training
CCMS evaluation and selection guidance—vendor neutral
Single-sourcing and multi-channel publishing
Taxonomy, metadata, and findability design
04 — Documentation Systems & Processes
Documentation that updates itself—almost.
The difference between documentation that decays and documentation that endures is process. We design workflows for authoring, review, approval, publishing, and maintenance that integrate with how your teams already work—then make sure they keep running.
We work within your existing tools wherever possible. The goal is a documentation operation that doesn't depend on heroics, reminders, or one person who cares.
Documentation workflow design and improvement
Review and approval cycles that actually finish
Publishing pipelines and release alignment
Maintenance schedules and content health checks
SME collaboration models that respect engineers' time
Documentation lifecycle management
05 — Translation & Localization
Technical content that's right in every language.
Technical translation is not general translation. A mistranslated procedure is a support ticket at best and a safety incident at worst. We provide English ⇄ French technical translation done by people who understand the subject matter—and build localization workflows that keep every language version in sync.
For organizations serving Canadian and international markets, this means compliant, consistent, professional documentation in both official languages without doubling your workload.
English ⇄ French technical translation
Terminology management and glossaries
Multilingual documentation workflows
Translation-ready source content practices
Localization process design and support
Language version synchronization across releases
06 — Documentation Modernization
From legacy chaos to maintainable order.
Years of accumulated documents, formats, and half-finished wikis don't fix themselves. We assess what you have, decide what's worth keeping, restructure it into a coherent architecture, and migrate it into a system your team can maintain—whether that's your current platform or a better fit.
Modernization isn't just migration. We rebuild the foundation—structure, standards, and process—so the documentation doesn't decay back into chaos two years later.
Legacy content assessment and triage
Documentation migration planning and execution
Content consolidation and deduplication
Format conversion, including unstructured to structured
Information architecture redesign
Post-migration governance to prevent re-decay
Our principle
We adapt the documentation system to your business— not the other way around.
We don't sell software, and we don't push platforms. We work with your existing documentation systems, workflows, and tools—and when a change is genuinely needed, we help you select the right solution on your terms.
Common questions
What clients usually ask first.
Do we need to change our documentation tools to work with you?
No. We're tool-agnostic by design. We work within your existing systems and workflows wherever possible. We only recommend a change when the business case is clear—and even then, the selection is vendor-neutral and driven by your requirements, not ours.
Can you work alongside our engineers without slowing them down?
That's the point of hiring us. We design SME collaboration models around short, structured interactions—targeted interviews, asynchronous reviews, clear sign-off checkpoints—so your engineers contribute their knowledge in minutes, not days.
Do you handle one-time projects or ongoing documentation management?
Both. Some clients need a specific deliverable—a user guide, a migration, an audit. Others want a long-term partner who owns documentation continuously. We structure engagements to match: project-based, retainer-based, or a transition from one to the other.
What does a documentation audit involve?
We review your existing content, structure, tooling, workflows, and ownership. You receive a clear assessment of what's working, where the gaps and risks are, and a prioritized, realistic plan for improvement—whether or not you engage us to execute it.
Is DITA right for us?
Maybe—it depends on your content volume, reuse needs, output formats, and team. DITA and structured authoring deliver enormous value at the right scale and unnecessary overhead below it. We'll give you an honest assessment either way; we have no platform to sell.
Can you translate our existing documentation into French?
Yes. We provide English ⇄ French technical translation with proper terminology management, and we set up workflows that keep both language versions synchronized as your product evolves—so translation doesn't become a recurring fire drill.
Not sure where to start?
Start with a conversation. We'll tell you honestly what your documentation needs—and what it doesn't.
