Business consulting
In the fast lane with the right processes
As specialists in multilingual communication, we look back on many years of practical experience: No two orders are the same. Our customers' corporate cultures, purposes and communication styles are too different. We have seen that imprecise or missing specifications drive up costs, lead to misunderstandings and errors and put partners and customers off.
In order to fully exploit potential within the company, we offer you expert advice that considers and optimises communication in the entire environment. This affects not only the technical editing or translation departments, but also other departments such as marketing, engineering or sales. This is the only way to achieve sustainable results.
We advise you on how to evaluate the priorities of cost, quality and time. The professional ethics of business consultants are particularly important to us: We work independently and offer you approaches that represent the optimal solution for you, uninfluenced by a single manufacturer.

Holistic communication
Many steps in the documentation process can be standardised and automated. However, technical communication is not an assembly line job, but a fluid process. The technical editorial office is an information hub. The individual pieces from engineering, marketing, sales and service must be harmonised and communicated to the outside world in a suitable form. Managed and maintained accordingly, documentation becomes a hub for knowledge management in the company and part of the value chain.
We analyse your communications landscape, taking your corporate strategy into account. Which departments are involved? Which products and languages are to be considered? We find out where the shoe pinches the most and set up key figures as a tool for internal strategic argumentation, e.g. for controlling. We decide on the destination together.
Then we set off on our journey. Starting from the current state, we look at the target vision: What is going well, what would you like to change, what is still missing, what do you need? Based on this, we formulate criteria, work out use cases and develop implementation concepts for graphics, text elements and navigation. If a software solution is appropriate, we start working on the action plan and obtain quotations from the manufacturers.
Equipped with our action plan, we set about implementing it. Together, we select the system and implement the software (together with the manufacturer or an IT consultant), transfer data and configure interfaces. With workshops and training courses, we ensure that those involved learn how to use the system independently. If necessary, we will guide you on your first steps.
