TIM-RS core processes

Efficiency

The core piece of TIM-RS is an XML database to manage all editorial objects efficiently. Priority is given to the quick retrieval and reuse of modules. For this purpose TIM-RS has a unique metadata concept. Cross-references and version management are a matter of course as well as the integrated picture data base and the document management system. Here you benefit most from our long-time experience.

Simple Creation

The core advantage of TIM-RS is the modularized generation of documents. TIM-RS is the only system supporting topic-oriented and document-centered working. Authors and developers can easily create structured information units supported by the integrated picture database and the document management system. Contents are checked with regard to spelling, style, terminology and purpose.

Efficient Change Management

A further strength of TIM-RS is the efficient change management through automated cross-references and proof of use for all objects. The result is process security and reliability concerning changes and you may calmly look forward to certification such as FDA or ISV.

Translating and Proofreading

TIM-RS supports the entire translation process up to the automatic generation of translation orders. Clear proofreading processes in the source and/or target language provide high quality and create trust with your customers worldwide. All contents and modules are saved in TIM-RS and only delta translations need to be done. New page layout is redundant. You will save costs effectively and immediately.

Dynamic Publishing

TIM-RS provides an efficient publication in all media from HTML, HTML Help, Java Help, Web Help, PDF, Word® and FrameMaker® to InDesign®. 3D objects as well as audio and video files are also integrated, which allows creating new ways of online documentation.
