Commercial

Commercial Challenges. Product Manufacturers, Healthcare, Banking, Finance and Services Industry (BFSI), Legal, along with other adjacent industries have a common problem. All spend inordinate amounts of time and money ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements, standards, and formats for their documents. Specialized applications are frequently utilized to process unstructured content and derive meaningful information.

The Markets We Serve Commercial

Defense, Federal, and Aerospace

Defense, Federal, and Aerospace

Defense, Federal, And Aerospace Challenges.The U.S. Government maintains stringent standards, regulations and formatting requirements. Properly managing policies, procedures, directives, operating and technical manuals is critical and requires more effort to achieve every day. Until now, ensuring compliance, consistency and quality has been onerous – with mundane, repetitive, time-intensive tasks that require manual effort, multiple editing rounds and outsourcing along with high levels of technical acumen just to get the document published. Coupled with this are higher-costs, inefficiencies, and human error.

Publishers and Associations

Publishers and Associations Challenges. The pursuit of automating the publishing process has spanned decades, driven by the goal of producing and distributing a greater volume of content and products with fewer resources. Traditionally, authors worked in Microsoft Word, necessitating a transformation of Word documents into an XML-first workflow for publishers to edit content using an XML editor. Despite the industry trend, editorial teams often favor working in Word due to its user-friendly environment. Until now, the transition from Word to XML has proven challenging and not always straightforward.

Delivering Automated Extensible Markup Language (XML) To Enterprises, Workflows and External Systems

XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a markup language and file format for storing, transmitting, and reconstructing arbitrary data. It defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human and machine-readable. However, XML is not intuitive and requires specialized training. It is frequently outsourced to experts who know the language and must be hired to further manage the content. In organizations where XML workflows are used, Ictect software offers a unique value proposition to enable authors, editors, publishers and everyone in the content supply chain to use Microsoft Word and Office 365 to create and edit XML. This has resulted in significant time and cost-saving for organizations.

Use Cases

Automated Compliance Checks with Style Guides and Writing Conventions

Lam Research is an $18 billion semiconductor company where technical writers use Microsoft Word and Ictect’s Intelligent Content Tools (icTools) software for checking their technical manuals. Engineers and Subject Matter Experts provide content in Microsoft Word which needs to be compliant with Lam Research style guide and technical writing conventions for the semiconductor industry. While there are many applications available for checking documents, Lam Research is very particular about certain words, phrases, acronyms, safety-related messages, etc. icTools is the easy-to-use software in Microsoft Word providing compliance and assurance to standards.

Automated XML and Formatting to Standards and Regulations

Technical writers at a large defense contractor used ArborText software for creating their technical manuals with S-1000D and DITA XML. However, product management resources including engineers, sales and marketing staff used Microsoft Word for reviewing and contributing content. The disconnect between ArborText and Microsoft Word created an unnecessary workload for technical writers and engineers, leading to millions of dollars in costs to the company. This important defense contractor decided to use Ictect’s Intelligent Content Tools (icTools) to streamline the communication between technical writers and non-technical resources.

Automated Integrity Checking and Conversion to XML

A global publisher was looking to implement integrity checking at an early stage in their journal publishing workflow. The integrity checking software would check for manuscripts submitted from paper mills, questionable authors and institutions, AI-assisted content, etc. They recognized that having reasonably good JATS XML would greatly simplify the integrity checking application. They chose Ictect’s Intelligent Content Server in an API form to convert author-submitted manuscripts to JATS XML.
