RCM Technologies, Westerly RI, USA, is comprised of more than 60 skilled technical authors and illustrators who produce aircraft manuals for customers such as Sikorsky, Keystone Helicopters, Hamilton Sundstrand, Pratt & Whitney, Boeing and Gulfstream.
RCM Technologies made a strategic decision to use the AIA/ASD S1000D standard for all future technical publication work. In 2008 they engaged with CORENA and deployed the Life*S1000D authoring, publishing and distribution environment. Installation and training took less than a week where after authors and illustrators were producing deliverables directly to the customers, in production-ready format.
”After using CORENA Life*S1000D, we have been able to produce and deliver 1,500 new Data Modules in just 6 weeks, monitor the degree of completion, reduce errors close to zero and publish manuals for different configurations of our customers aircraft by the press of a button”, says Rick Wood, Managing Director of RCM Technologies.
