aMarketForce has added Technical Writing and Documentation Services to its offerings. This and the next two blogs provide a brief overview of these services.

- What is the purpose of technical writing?
- What is good technical writing?
- What is the difference between technical writing and technical documentation?
- What sets aMarketForce apart as a provider of technical writing and documentation services.
What is Technical Writing?
It communicates the technical aspects of a product or service to both technical and non-technical audiences. Examples include a user manual for a consumer digital camera, a car’s technical service manual, or instructions for operating a machine that produces TV parts. Fields as varied as engineering, chemistry, aerospace, computer hardware and software, robotics, finance, consumer electronics, and biotechnology all need technical documentation.
Technological writing teams are also known as Technological Documentation Groups, Information Development, User Assistance Teams, or Technological Publications Departments.
What is The Purpose of Technical Writing?
The purpose of Technological writing is to let readers understand Technological materials and use them as needed without having to decode wordy and ambiguous writing. Technical writers put complex technical ideas into understandable words, for technical as well as non technical audiences.
What is Good Technical Writing?
The three C’s of good Technological writing are:
- Clear
- Concise
- Complete
Good Technological writing clarifies Technological jargon; that is, it presents useful information that is clear and easy to understand for the intended audience.
Poor Technological writing may increase confusion by creating unnecessary Technological jargon, or failing to explain unavoidable Technological terms that readers would not be familiar with.
What Makes aMarketForce Different?
Differentiator # 1:
aMarketForce has skilled technical writers who have written extensively in several technical domains, which is why we can step in and create documentation with minimal ramp-up time. Although this may be a claim made universally, what sets us apart is that we do not claim expertise in all areas. Instead, aMarketForce writers focus on software technology, finance and banking, and marketing communications.
Differentiator # 2:
We take in a diverse range of technical content in various pre-existing formats. First, we store it by separating the ‘content’ from the ‘format’. Then, we deliver this content in multiple output formats. Moreover, we adjust the depth and complexity based on the intended use and output format. We call this content multi-purposing, or ‘Documentation Services’, and it will be the focus of the next blog.
