Technical marketing material

Datasheets

A properly designed datasheet is important to communicate product characteristics and specifications. Datasheets allow users to easily find and use appropriate product data, determine engineering tolerances and ascertain the product quality and determine that the correct purchase decisions are being made.

Experience:

  Akros Silicon Numonyx  
  Micron Technologies    


Proofreading

If you have documents that you have produced in house, it's a good idea to have a second set of eyes look them over before sending them to the printer. Reprinting to fix mistakes can be expensive and sending out errors reduces credibility with your customers. Using a professional proofreader rather than in-house staff assures that the right proofreading methods are used to catch potential errors.

Experience:

  California Office of State Publishing Intel (China)  
  California Department of Pesticide Regulation MultiFactor Corporation  


Editing

If you have documentation or whitepapers that need to be edited or updated to match your current product offering, we can bring this material up to date and improve readability. If you have documentation that has been developed offshore by writers whose first language is not English, we can proof and edit the material.
