Top five reasons to outsource your next content transformation project

As a company that specializes in overhauling or “transforming” high-value enterprise content, such as 10,000-page procedure manuals, we’ve learned a lot of valuable lessons over the years. Here are five reasons to think about when considering outsourcing your technical writing projects.

1. Your subject matter experts (SMEs) don’t have time – Your SMEs and other stakeholders don’t have time to design, develop, and write while still performing their day-to-day tasks.

2. Your content development needs vary– Why staff ten writers when you only need four and can contract additional people as required. Your development needs vary, so can your costs.

3. Writing companies have done this before –Writing projects, especially large ones, are complex. You need specialists that know the tools, methods, processes and standards needed to complete these projects while providing you with high-quality deliverables.

4. Your staff and customers expect a “Google-like” experience – The demands and expectations on your company’s content have increased significantly. Internet-savvy end-users expect to be able to find and understand the information they need on a multitude of devices. Your content must be future-enabling to keep up with today’s and tomorrow’s technology.

5. You need it done on time and on budget – Writing companies have a lot more skin in the game. Their reputation and future business is hinged on top quality work at a fair price, delivered on time and on budget.
