1 Making a Business Case for S1000D The Truth About Return on Investment S1000D User Forum 2012 June 18-21, 2012

2 Cost versus Value Drivers Cost Challenges Time to create and update multiple publication variants Multi-channel publishing requirements Interoperability and data interchange in a global environment 2 Value Drivers Increased automation leads to reduced effort, cost, and time to market New publishing channels (IETP) and parts ordering can generate new revenue Improved quality and publications (especially IETP) support a higher price increased availability of systems would directly generate more revenue

3 Let s have a look at a traditional industry problem: INTEROPERBILITY

6 ROI CASES IPCs Supported Team size % Productivity Gain Production of IPC in XML 20% Productivity Gain Production of Job Cards in ispec % Cost Reduction Production of Electronic Publications in S1000D 20%+ Productivity Gain Production of Computer based Training in S1000D and SCORM

7 Challenges with non-s1000d publications Integrated Defense Systems has been working with non-structured FrameMaker for years Challenges in configuration control No optimal reuse of information units

8 What we have achieved: Delivered 87 technical publications in S1000D format since week 14 in 2008 (2 weeks per technical publication) In addition, several of these publications have been updated Quality is much improved More effective started later and finished as promised Efficiency We do more... With the same personnel Revision cycle reduced from 3 months to 3 days

17 Conclusions The examples in this presentation clearly proves the return on investments from using S1000D Consider legacy formats and the need for data conversion when you make your business case for S1000D An S1000D implementation may require investments in: XML and S1000D training S1000D Business Rule development Technology Data conversion It s important to understand how productivity gains and cost reductions and increased availability directly impact your return on your investment
