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:
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.
