| SOLUTIONS FOR MANUFACTURERS |
|
| ThomasTech has extensive experience in
helping companies implement content management solutions to
allow them to reduce production costs and create new revenue
opportunities. These solutions have enabled our clients to
address important business challenges, such as: |
|
- Managing complex and/or a high volume of product
information
- Supporting Web-based product catalogs
- Delivering consistent product information to distributors
and e-marketplaces
- Streamlining technical documentation production
|

|
ThomasTech develops solutions for companies
based on the practice of Enterprise Content Management (ECM).
ECM has many applications in the manufacturing industry and
involves the entire process from content creation to management
to delivery. ECM can provide the ability to collect disparate
content into a single source of information that can then
support multiple output channels, including the Web, print/PDF,
and CD/DVD.
ThomasTech can help specify and integrate the many individual
components of an ECM system, as illustrated in the diagram
below, to best fit our clients’ business needs and provide
a unified portal to all of their content assets.

| Our Focus on Information Management Systems |
|
| Product
Information Manangement Systems |
|
| An ECM for product information
typically uses a centralized repository that enables
online searching, ordering, and integration with
ERP and other back-end business systems. These
systems can also facilitate the exchange of information
among other business systems, and provide support
for producing print product catalogs from a single
resource. |
|
| Technical
Documentation Systems |
|
| Managing massive amounts of
technical content for producing and updating documentation
can be a challenge for manufacturers. Multiple
users and departments need to collaborate to create
and update various versions of the documentation,
and typically work with disparate sources of information. |
|
| Digital
Asset Management Systems |
|
| Most companies have an array
of digital assets that they have accumulated over
time, such as logos, charts, photos, and even
digital audio and video. An ECM for digital asset
management can provide a central, organized repository
for these objects, enable indexing and quick retrieval,
and support conversion for multiple output formats,
such as generating thumbnails for Web display. |
