Enterprise-Level Digital Documentation Management System Using Advanced DITA Technology

The client faces significant difficulties managing and maintaining technical documentation across a vast array of products and variations. The current outdated documentation system offers limited functionality, hampers collaboration, impedes efficient content reuse, and inflates translation and publishing costs. These issues restrict operational efficiency and compliance with industry standards.

A large manufacturing corporation specializing in control solutions for decentralized power production, with extensive product variations requiring structured technical documentation and multilingual support.
