S1000D Services
S1000D is a standard specification for technical publications. It is used extensively in the aerospace and defence industries because it offers:
-
Consistency – S1000D provides clear and standardised rules and guidelines for creating technical publications.
-
Reusability – Content is broken down into Data Modules that can be reused across different technical publications, platforms and products.
-
Cost savings – By promoting a structured and modular approach, organisations can save money by reducing the time and resources required to create technical publications.
-
Flexibility – S1000D content is created in XML, making it adaptable for different delivery platforms and customer requirements.
-
Interoperability – Using S1000D ensures that documentation can be easily exchanged and integrated between different systems, improving communication and collaboration between organisations.
Pennant has extensive experience in designing and generating S1000D technical publications for a variety of customers and products, including the conversion of legacy content. Using the Pennant R4i suite of software products, S1000D-compliant technical publications can be produced to any version of the specification.
Pennant’s primary focus is to ensure that we provide a dynamic and responsive R4i software development process. We achieve this focus through innovation, outstanding customer service and proven competitive strategies delivered by a peerless and committed team of experts.
While the R4i software comprises commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products, our development team designs tools for our customers to solve specific business challenges. R4i software applications are designed to be modular, easy to use and most importantly, robust.
We know the importance of getting it right in the aerospace industry, and our R4i product suite provides all the tools you’ll need to create, manage and leverage information. Implementation is fast, and comprehensive training means our products can be realised easily and quickly, giving you the best outcome. Read the case study:
