Pittsburgh, PA – October 21, 2009 --[ASDWire]-- Inmedius Inc. is pleased to announce that it has formed a strategic partnership with Appendix Sonovision-ITEP of Canada in the production of S1000D™ technical publications utilizing the company’s S1000D Publishing Suite™ for aerospace and defense projects. Sonovision-ITEP will leverage Inmedius’ technologies in the Suite, an integrated seven-module solution set that supports the entire ASD S1000D™ documentation lifecycle. The Sonovision-ITEP group of companies includes Appendix Sonovision-ITEP of North America, pioneers and global leaders in electronic document authoring and delivery. The partnership agreement concludes a rigorous, detailed process of competitive analysis and final selection.
Appendix Sonovision-ITEP is viewed by many of its customers as pioneers, and leaders, at the forefront of S1000D authoring and delivery in North America. “The S1000D standard is relatively new to the commercial aerospace market in North America, and Inmedius’ comprehensive, Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) set of S1000D products exceed our customer needs as they migrate their technical documentation operations to encompass the Specification,” explained Rick Temelini, President, Appendix Sonovision-ITEP. “Our partnership with Inmedius allows us to offer our North American aerospace and defense customers a complete end-to-end solution, from initial authoring to the in-service lifecycle phase. One of most compelling features that Inmedius offers our clients is the ability to author in S1000D and publish both S1000D and ATA 2200 documents.”
Inmedius technology will enhance the way in which Appendix Sonovision-ITEP currently provides its customers an S1000D technical information infrastructure. The S1000D Publishing Suite will permit Appendix Sonovision-ITEP to deliver a higher level of quality through the integration of best industry practices with the best application suite on the market today. In addition, Inmedius software compliments and strengthens the current Appendix Sonovision-ITEP OpenSuite set of authoring and provisioning tools.
“By leveraging Appendix Sonovision-ITEP’s existing software tools in conjunction with the Inmedius Suite of S1000D products, organizations will benefit from a single supplier and business relationship that meets all their needs to maintain both S1000D and legacy data in its original format within a single system,” stated Gary Schaffer, President and CEO, Inmedius, Inc.
