Technical Manuals
Professional Technical Manual Writing, Drafting & Documentation
Technical manuals provide structured reference information for people who need to install, operate, configure, maintain, administer, troubleshoot, or support a technical product or system.
Lamtas can organize supplied technical information into a logical manual structure appropriate to the intended audience, technical environment, and purpose.
Where an existing manual is available, the engagement can focus on review, editing, rewriting, restructuring, updating, formatting, or improvement rather than starting from a blank document.
The level of technical research and subject-matter input depends on the project, available source information, required depth, and agreed responsibilities.
