Inmedius Delivers ATA Civil Aviation Technical Documentation Solution

Liebherr-Aerospace Implements Inmedius Horizon™ for XML Content Management

Pittsburgh, PA - May 7, 2008 --[ASDWire]-- Utilizing Inmedius Horizon™, an XML content management system, Inmedius is delivering a revolutionary new methodology to create, maintain and published ATA iSpec 2200 data. German-based Liebherr-Aerospace Lindenberg GmbH is the first Inmedius client to formally manage ATA (Air Transportation Association) data utilizing the system’s productivity tools.

“Inmedius Horizon enables Liebherr to assign, manage and publish ATA data in a controlled, segmented way,” explained Michael Ingledew, Managing Director, Inmedius UK. “Authors are able to work on specific assigned page blocks, tasks or fragments within an Aircraft or Component Maintenance Manual, or Service Bulletin. This new methodology is a dramatic improvement for the comprehensive management of a technical documentation department.”

ATA iSpec 2200 is a global aviation industry standard for the content, structure, and electronic exchange of aircraft engineering, maintenance, and flight operations information. It consists of a suite of data specifications pertaining to maintenance requirements and procedures, aircraft configuration control, and flight operations.

Inmedius Horizon supports multiple industry documentation standards, including managing complex technical publications written to the ATA iSpec 2200 specification. Using Horizon, the publication manager can divide ATA documents into small, manageable chunks of information, while maintaining complete management and visibility over the document. Document control over each item in the system and customizable workflows ensure that all documents meet the appropriate review and approval cycles before publishing. The Horizon system also integrates seamlessly with popular authoring platforms, including built-in plug-ins for Adobe® FrameMaker® and PTC® Arbortext Editor™, as well as the Inmedius S1000D Publishing Suite™.

“Liebherr-Aerospace has set a new high bar for professionally managed content in a technical documentations operation,” stated Gary Schaffer, CEO and President, Inmedius, Inc. “Through the implementation and integration of both the ATA iSpec 2200 in Horizon, and the S1000D Publishing Suite, Liebherr-Aerospace is able to support multiple client and specification requirements with a business process-driven system to create, manage and deploy complex technical data through its entire lifecycle.

Inmedius is an active participant in the Aerospace Industries Association of America, Inc. (AIA) Spring Product Support Conference and AIA/Joint-Services Tech Pubs Workshop, taking place May 5-9 in Clearwater Beach, Florida. Conference attendees will be able to view live product demonstrations of Inmedius’ ATA, S1000D, and DITA technical documentation publishing solutions. Horizon’s unique XML content management functionality may also be explored online through eight dynamic demonstrations at www.inmediushorizon.com.
