S1000Dconstructor Benefits

  • Create IPD Data Modules quickly & easily
  • Streamline parts data acquisition & compilation
  • Improve ease of use when handling IPD Data Module data
  • Reduce errors in exchange of parts related data
  • Increase efficiency of parts

Cost Effective Solution for Quickly Creating IPDs

IPD Data Modules are some of the most complex S1000D Data Modules to author and manage. Access to accurate parts information is essential when developing and managing both IPDs and technical publications. Because of the complexity, parts data management is a very costly and tedious processes.

Constructor provides S1000D users with an efficient and low cost solution for creating and managing IPD Data Modules in a fully integrated S1000D solution. Authors simply create Parts Catalogs in a central repository where Data Modules are automatically built to the desired S1000D Issue. Comprehensive and efficient, the system significantly reduces costs without compromising the final output.


Reach Unprecedented Levels of Performance & Efficiency

Constructor and the fully integrated Inmedius S1000D Publishing Suite™ is a complete, end-to-end solution to successfully manage the technical documentation publication process. The Commercial-Off-The-Shelf software is easy-to-use, implement and maintain. Breakthrough features are changing the landscape of technical publishing, making every facet of the S1000D implementation possible. Only with an integrated solution can rules established by project managers be so effectively and automatically carried out from start-up through authoring to final delivery.

Parts Catalog Projects

Manage Parts Projects

Part information is stored in a central database to facilitate project collaboration. Constructor guides users by maintaining Project, Figures and Parts.

Easy management of parts informationUsers can easily add, edit, and manage parts information in a central database.
