From our experience we have found technical writers often didn't really understand the subjects about which their clients asked them to write.
Typically writers are trained in the Arts first, and then later work with engineering clients. This is a recipe for disaster! The huge gap between these two backgrounds can lead to inefficient communications and a lack of true understanding of an engineer’s world. The outcome is a long drawn out, tedious and expensive process. This can result so easily in poor technical documents that miss the mark in delivering inaccurate or incomplete information to the readers. Project timescales are stretched and frustration on both sides becomes inevitable.
There is a better way!
At Alpha Omega Business Consultant, we know this can be improved by using people who are
trained as engineers first and then add-on their technical writing skills. However, not all engineers can do this and so we have carefully selected engineering technical writers who have these skills.
Alpha Omega Business Consultants offer technical writing skills that can add value to your business in a number of different ways:
- training course creation for delivery as electronic, paper or on-line media
- documentation for software, especially quick start guides
- User, operator or service manuals for engineering products
- marketing collaterals such as white papers, articles, brochures, etc.
Our technical writing services start with an engineering foundation. The broad engineering and materials science background of our technical writers provides them with the necessary common ground with our clients to make the transfer of knowledge so much easier. The process we use and the results demonstrate this skill.
To this foundation we add strong communication skills developed in sales, marketing and training.
The result: you get easy-to-read, accurately written material that is made attractive through the use of illustrations, graphics, colour, layout design and text to meet your requirements...
...helping stop everyone's hair being torn out! ... and delivering value to the client.
