Our methodology maximizes communication in end-user terminology, rapid prototyping, and iterative development and delivery of the solution in order to provide maximum visibility as early in the project cycle as possible. This minimizes risk, maximizes customer visibility into the solution, and facilitates our ability to understand and exceed your expectations. Our methodology, experience, and deep expertise in the technologies and product sets provides a well rounded consulting organization to develop solutions to your critical business challenges.
TerraXML has adopted a phased approach for services to:
- Identify technical and architectural risks early in the project and deliver in phases.
- Introduce new procedures incrementally to ease the disruption of day-to-day operations.
- Realize a return-on-investment sooner, which helps decrease the overall cost of the project.
Requirements Analysis
At project start, we perform an on-site analysis with your team to gather requirements so that implementation details can be planned in advance. We work closely, onsite, with user and technical decision makers at the customer for this phase. This results in a Functional Requirements document, written in end user terminology, and a Project Schedule.
Detailed Design
Based on the Functional Requirements, detailed design documents are developed by experts in each field:
- PLM Configuration - If needed, the strategy for product data configurations are analyzed and documented.
- Content Management - How XML data is structured in the repository is designed and documented.
- Data Modeling - Documents shall be analyzed to determine the best markup model to support the data requirements.
- Stylesheet Requirements - Working with Data Modeling, output requirements are analyzed to specify formatting that is applied through the markup.
- User Interface and Automated Process Designs - Expected behaviors for custom user interfaces are designed and documented.
PLM Configuration
The right combination of product configurations, options, and variants are key to meeting your product lifecycle management needs. We will work with you to define product and service configurations that work for your cycles and strategies.
XML Definitions
The Document Type Definition (DTD) or schema is fundamental to the product information delivery system. TerraXML will work with you to define semantic components for your data and create or modify existing DTDs and schemas.
Stylesheets
Our team of stylesheet experts are masters at turning XML content into PDF and HTML to meet your specific publishing requirements - your consumers can read documents in familiar formats while the content creation process is streamlined with dynamic assemblies and data filtering.
Tailored User Interfaces
TerraXML has a team of lead developers that can work with you on the design, development, and implementation of custom dialog boxes or "lights-out" enhancements to automate processes to streamline day-to-day operations - so that your product developers can focus on creating products and your authors can focus on writing.
TerraXML is one of the only companies integrating dynamic publishing with PLM. We can effectively apply PLM products and principles to service industries and configure product documentation dynamically, and automatically, as a product variant is created. In this paradigm, PTC product component technology is married with the XML document creation and maintenance technology. If creating products through data configurations is your business, we can help you build a dynamic, scalable product configuration strategy that works with your document generation requirements.
