Horsell, a professional services business for Australian Defence organisations, has this week announced the adoption of the Xignal S1000D Suite to support their technical publication services.
The move to the S-Series Integrated Product Support (IPS) specifications aligns to Australian Defence mandated specifications through ASDEFCON. For Horsell this has been achieved via the adoption of Xignal S1000D, an innovative, modern S1000D Technical Documentation creation, management, and delivery platform which offers simplified data creation and collaboration.
Horsell’s investment in creating an S1000D capability represents a strategic direction for the business to align ourselves more closely with our principal market in the Australian Defence sector. The Xignal S1000D Suite accelerates our efforts to establish Horsell as a leader in S1000D for the delivery of S1000D technical publication services.”
Marcus McNamara - General Manager Horsell
The Horsell team have a long-standing working relationship with Defence Australia, in particular the Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Group where DEF(AUST) 5630, the standard for developing S1000D Interactive Electronic Technical Publications (IETP), has been mandated.
Adding S1000D capabilities via the Xignal S1000D Suite positions Horsell at the forefront of the move towards the delivery of S1000D publications and IETPs for Australian Defence projects. In addition, the flexibility of the Xignal S1000D Suite will enable them to move at pace to scale their support for the Department of Defence.
We are delighted to have the opportunity to support Horsell’s vision to lead the way with affordable S1000D technical documentation solutions and services in Australia. We look forward to working, and evolving, with the team as Defence Australia contracts move to the S1000D Specification in the coming years
Kate Hawkins - Director, Xignal Operations
Historically, S1000D solution costs and the complexity of XML editors have been a blocker for many looking to move to S1000D. The Xignal S1000D Suite breaks down these barriers to entry by simplifying the process of creating and delivering S1000D data, and collaborating throughout the supply chain. As a testament to this paradigm, Horsell began authoring content the very first day they subscribed to the service.
This unique and affordable approach to S1000D means that any organisation supporting the Australian Defence Force can work with Horsell and transition to S1000D with ease.
