X-Pubs 2008 Conference
Date and location: June 22-24, 2008, London, UKAt the X-Pubs 2008 conference, Miel De Schepper described what customer centric technical documentation is. It is much more than delivering information in the customer's language. It is about delivering only that information he requires, when he requires it, with the right level of detail. However companies and technical documentation departments also have to deal with shorter product life cycles, quicker product and documentation updates, more output formats that need to be foreseen, more translations that have to be made and so on making it difficult to still create personalized, customer centric documentation.
