System Development
Our many years of experience and wealth of knowledge in manuals and content production help us develop programs that deliver cost savings and quality improvement, and build systems that clear the clients process bottlenecks.
We offer a wide range of solutions, from the development of small programs such as data conversion and work automation tools and functional plug-ins for commercial applications to the construction of large-scale systems using databases and servers.
Selling our systems is not our objective; we propose systems/programs in order to provide better manuals and content and improve the efficiency of our client's processes.

Our expertise
Plug-in Development
Have you ever wished that there was a program to automate repetitive operations, a tool to complete routine tasks at the touch of a button, or a quality control check tool that can help you save the cost and improve the quality of PC-based work?
We develop plug-ins (add-ins/add-ons) for Microsoft Office and Adobe products that make these wishes come true.
We can also work with applications other than Microsoft Office and Adobe products - in some cases even with applications that do not have plug-in capabilities. If interested, please contact us and let us know what you are looking for.
System Development for Structured Documents
We started working on structured documents using markup languages when SGML appeared and have built up considerable expertise in this area. We also regularly develop applications needed to handle structured documents.
We develop a wide variety of structuration tools, including DTDs, structuring applications, stylesheets for typesetting and display, and content revision control systems.
In addition to developing applications for FrameMaker, we also offer XDocForm, our unique system that can produce and manage structured documents using familiar tools such as MS Word and web browsers.
System Development for Non-XML Structured Documents
Structuring documents using a markup language has many advantages such as ensuring uniformity of document structure and format. On the other hand, however, it has its shortcomings such as the rigidity of layout restriction, so if you are not looking to use your content for multiple purposes, it may not be for you.
For those clients, we can offer structuring solutions that do not use XML. An example is Struword, a unique system that allows structuring through uniform format and order of appearance without the use of XML.
It is our in-depth knowledge of XML that enables us to serve clients looking for structuring solutions using XML as well as clients who want to take advantage of structuring without using XML.
