Inmedius Announces S1000Dreview™ Quality Assurance Solution
Browser-Based Technical Documentation Software Streamlines Comment and Approval Process

PITTSBURGH, PA – May 15, 2006  Inmedius, Inc., a leading provider of technical documentation production software, announced S1000Dreview, an easy-to-use, browser-based system that streamlines the Quality Assurance comment and approval process for the publication of ASD S1000D™ documents. S1000Dreview is the fifth standalone, Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) solution composing the completely integrated Inmedius S1000D™ Publishing Suite™. The software sets the standard for capture, creation, management and deployment of technical information, and addresses the entire length of the S1000D™ documentation lifecycle.

“Whether the document is internal or external to the organization, the ability to incorporate user comments into the Quality Assurance process is vital,” explained Sean Rushing, Inmedius U.S. Director, S1000D™ Products and Services. “In most cases, however, comments, omissions and errors are communicated by a variety of disconnected methods including; meetings, email, phone, printed paper copies, and electronic systems like Adobe PDF. These methods are error prone and non-standardized, with long lag times when a document has to be printed and sent, or emailed and then printed. It’s also awkward and difficult for more than one person to comment on the document, or for the author to respond back to the customer’s comment. And, most importantly, none of these channels are integrated into the S1000D™ paradigm or process.”

With S1000Dreview, publication managers have the opportunity to dramatically enhance the efficiency of capturing comments and facilitate approvals, while providing workflow, discipline and closure to the technical documentation Quality Assurance and review process cycle. Browser-based, the system is easy-to-use and transparent to the end-user. A system administrator assigns user access and controls security levels.

“Having a full electronic system like S1000Dreview saves time, is a fail-safe way to collect both internal and external comments, and to resolve those remarks, allowing the end-user to have a better venue to share comments with publication departments,” stated Gary Schaffer, CEO, Inmedius. “Because data is captured electronically, there is less retyping and room for error. And, since Review is integrated with our Inmedius S1000D™ Publishing Suite, comments go directly into S1000Dmanager™ to re-author or revise the affected Data Module (DM).”
