SDL plc, part of RWS Holdings plc, announced a strategic partnership with Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd. to offer SDL Contenta Publishing Suite to manufacturers and aerospace and defense organizations in Japan, with a future plan to expand into other Asia-Pacific countries/regions. This marks a significant milestone in SDL’s global expansion strategy for technical content creation, management and publishing. Organizations involved in manufacturing and aerospace and defense need to create, manage and publish technical documentation in a secure and functional manner. Technical documents for these industries are highly complex, and often include hundreds of thousands of instructions and graphics to support the operations, maintenance and inspection of complex assets. The combination of SDL and Fuji Xerox will help these organizations to consolidate, standardize, and adopt proven best practices – based on standards including the ASD S1000D® – to achieve substantial efficiencies across their content supply chain. The SDL Contenta Publishing Suite is a complete, integrated, industry-proven publishing solution for technical content, with functionality optimized for each step of the publishing process. Based on the S1000D standard, it helps organizations manage millions of pages of complex technical documents and deliver interactive electronic technical publications (IETP) enabling maintenance professionals to rapidly meet mission objectives, reduce mean time to repair (MTTR), and keep assets deployed. SDL Contenta Publishing Suite is the most trusted technical publishing platform for the global aerospace and defense industry. Currently 7 of the top 10 aerospace and defense organizations rely on the technology to create, manage and publish technical content. SDL’s expansion strategy is to ensure availability of the Contenta Publishing Suite via strategic relationships with Top Tier reselling experts such as Fuji Xerox in regions across the globe.
