Authoring

The Writing Isn’t Always on the Wall Sometimes it’s in a printed book, or on a desktop, or a laptop, or an iPad or a phone, or a widescreen TV…or in a theater.

Conversions / Publishing

Sure, copying and pasting is an option. That is, if you have the extra schedule and don’t mind taking on the constant risk of human error. Or you could choose an alternate route.

Graphics / Multimedia

Exceptional, class-leading technical publications cannot rely solely on well written copy. RCM generates thousands of graphics annually with precise attention to detail in virtually all industry accepted formats, to include CGMs, SVGs, WebCGM2s, animations and 3D graphics to support our customer deliverables.

CSDB Hosting

What is a CSDB and why use it?

A CSDB is valuable tool that manages all datatypes; (i.e. descriptive, informational, process and procedural direction, graphics; photos, animations and illustrations). Data managed properly in a CSDB and IAW with S1000D is not duplicated. During in-service updates, single instances of the data can be confidently edited, infinitely throughout the database.

Ensuring data is updated in only one location avoids potential data-conflicts and quality issues down the road.
