Mission Statement, Vision & the Tedopres Model

Mission Statement

It is our mission to provide customers with the most innovative documentation, at the highest possible quality standards and be able to continue to play a leading role in the future of documentation.

Vision

All information should be available to anyone at any point in time, in whatever requested format and in whichever language.

Tedopres Model

End users demand high-quality products and therefore expect technical information to be directly available and crystal clear. Moreover, product development schedules are increasingly becoming shorter, thereby increasing the pressure on technical publication staff even more due to the time-to-market. Despite these issues, budgets to support technical publications are shrinking. In response thereto, organizations are focusing on creating technical information more efficiently.
 
Questions to consider in this regard:
  • How easy is it for your product users to find product information?
  • How well do your product users understand your information?
  • Do you enable your product users to perform MRO (maintenance, repair, overhaul) activities efficiently, i.o.w. in a cost and time effective way?
In other words, how can we make the right information available to the right end user at the right time? In order to do, Etteplan | Tedopres applies the Tedopres Model, which observes the following requirements:
  • Simplified Technical English, for clarity and consistency of the (English) source text.
  • Simplified Technical Illustrations, to achieve single sourcing of high-quality (3D and 2D) illustrations.
  • Single Sourcing, to maximize the reusability of content.
  • Topic-based authoring, for consistent structure and content element codification.
It is the combination of all four principles that guarantee high-quality and efficient (technical) information that makes up the Tedopres Model (you request a free copy here).
 
In addition, this also allows one to publish information to various types of media and ensures your content is ‘future-proof’.
