Single service solution for all your technical writing needs
We write single bespoke manuals, suites of manuals or provide an outsourcing facility for times of high workload to free up your team.
With a dedicated technical authoring support team like AST, you can overcome short or long term workloads without having to compromise your core services.
New or existing products, processes or systems
Whether you need new documentation, help developing existing documentation, a simple update or a change of direction AST can help. We can help you reposition your documentation for a new end-user or to incorporate end-user feedback.
Large project sub-contracting - click for more
We have a proud history of working for multi-nationals as sub-contractors on some of the UK's largest and most prestigious engineering projects, including major railway upgrades and new infrastructure projects, power plants, shopping centres and hotels.
Quality technical documentation will add value and enhance your product
Professional technical authoring will add value to your product, in the same way that bad quality technical authoring written by someone not experienced in the skill, will detract from it.
Translation services
We can help translate your documentation if required. It could be your customers are asking for manuals in their own language, you are expanding to new territories and want to make a good first impression, or perhaps consolidating your operations in the UK. We can help with the translation of existing documentation, maybe adapting it into smaller form to reduce translation costs. Or for new or updated documentation we can write your manuals for compatibility with translation in mind.
