You might not see direct costs of not providing reliable documentation, but you will pay them.
Nothing good comes from frustrated users who cannot find answers within
software or its documentation. At best, these users represent
unnecessary calls to your technical support line. At worst, these
users will become disevangelists for your software, people who warn
others about their bad experiences and urge others to use your
competitors’ products.
Many
organizations do not provide user documentation because a full-time
technical writer on staff can be a tough expense to justify for smaller
companies. Jeracor can, at the end of your software development
lifecycle, create a set of user guides, reference guides, online help,
or other documents that will help your users understand and use your
software without your technical support team’s intervention.
All we need to create documentation is a basic understanding of the
business problem your application solves, the basic workflow of the
application, a stable build, and a testbed environment. We learn
and document by using your product, which ensures that the
documentation we create reflects what your users will encounter.
This builds documentation your users can trust.
We can start documenting applications with as little as a one-hour
briefing and can complete the documentation in less time than you might
think.
