Documentation is a concept that covers a lot of territory.  From bone and ivory commodity tags discovered in the third millennium BCE Egyptian tomb of Scorpion I to the use of qubits to document security keys for quantum communications, people have sought out better ways to meet their documentation needs.  While AEC does not currently engage in quantum documentation techniques or the carving of hard organic materials, we can work with you to identify and implement a documentation solution that works for you.

AEC has the experience, software, and dedicated people to help define, develop, and deliver a documentation solution that works for you.  Not all documentation lends itself to classical technical writing.  You may require conversions from PDF to Framemaker or S1000D XML, migration from an outdated native file format to a format more in the current mainstream, or you may need help defining an approach that works best for you.  We can help with the technical aspects of your S1000D production by providing XSLT/XSL-FO, Applicability, and CIR support   AEC can identify and develop unique solutions that meet your goals, then work with you to create documentation that covers your needs.
