Whether your organization sells products or offers technical services, there is always a great amount of logistic information and product data around, either created inhouse or external. It is a challenging task to keep these documents consistent and ensure company-wide access to your data. A challenge, that has to be met variably according to the circumstances. Complete, accurate and timely documentation is a must for quality-conscious companies.
For these tasks in the field of Information Logistics, HiCo-ICS provides innovative Content Management Systems and modular software elements for realization of all-in solutions and for the integration within your existing system environment. The HiCo iLS.Suite™ is thereby the central application of HiCo-ICS for Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) and Technical Documentation.
All products are designed scalable and can thus be used at major enterprises, as well as at small and medium-sized businesses and as single-workstation solutions. Hence HiCo-ICS realizes flexible, performant and cost-efficient solutions for technical publications and product information for companies of different sizes and its subcontractors. The focus is on user friendly, efficient creation and maintenance of information as well as on the continuity of processes without change in format.
Based on open standards like XML and SGML, we develop software solutions for creating ("create"), managing ("manage"), publishing ("publish") and the communication ("communicate") of structured Technical Publications (IETP) and service and product information. The ability of integration ("integrate") of existing applications and information ressources ensures investments and enlarges the scope of usage within company-wide overall solutions.
The HICO product range supports international established standards for Interactive Electronic Technical Publications (IETP), Integrated Material Management and Logistic Support Analysis (LSA) like e.g. ASD S1000D®, ATA iSpec 2200, ASD S2000M, ATA Spec2000, ASD S3000L or iETD-ExportStandard which, based on common products, are supported through the appropriate configuration. The service and product offer especially addresses companies with complex documentation requirements as, for example, the aviation and ship building industry.
HICO solutions are partly based on the market-leading PTC (Parametric Technology Corporation) products and technologies: Arbortext Editor™, Arbortext Publishing Engine™, Arbortext IsoView™ and Arbortext IsoDraw™. HICO has supplemented the PTC product portfolio with add-on's and complementary products and is thereby able to cover the customers' needs.
