20^th January 2010

Agata Woźniak and Mirosław Stasik from Logostrada took part in the seminar introducing the subject of product documentation preparation. In response to the invitation of the organizer, STI Company (Logostrada's sister company dealing with typesetting, documentation and trainings), the seminar was led by Dra. Dagmar Schwarz from Fourpeople GmbH, a company specializing in creating product documentation and offering the full range of services to its customers, also in consulting and training area. The seminar was also the beginning of the official cooperation between both companies in this area on the Polish market. Congratulations!

This all-day event was attended by representatives of companies from industries such as production of boiler systems, industrial and construction chemistry as well as providers for individual orders, and people interested in backing up production companies with documentation services, including translations. Because of that all documentation issues were considered from two perspectives.

It turns out that producers are aware of the requirement of keeping track of product documentation, however in practice the start of this process in companies, because of lack of specialists, cost, difficulty, lack of knowledge of the law etc, it is always delayed in time. Meanwhile the lack or incorrect preparation of documentation can result in lawsuits asking for high compensations from users, which in many cases are being granted to them by courts.

Dra. Dagmar Schwarz is convincing us that the documentation process is not that complicated and difficult to carry out, if the producer will get to know the modular structure of such documentation and ways of multiple usage of particular modules. Thanks to them, translating is getting easier, more cohesive and less expensive
