As machines and devices become increasingly modular, standard components can be used to create a customer-specific solution. This method is being widely adopted in software development to customize standard applications to meet customer-specific needs.

In fact, the method can also provide many advantages during the documentation development process. But it does require significant knowledge of the processes involved in documentation. After all, a fair amount of different pieces of text have to be integrated seamlessly into a whole. The texts should then be maintainable and may often be published in different languages.

To keep the development of such documentation manageable, Triview uses a Content Management System (CMS). Information is structured and stored in the CMS in a manner that makes it accessible. And ready for publication: in the required form, the required language and at the required time. Triview works with Author-it; a product that is a smart combination of a CMS and a documentation environment.
