Contiem

Contiem's Aerospace and Defence team provides technical information services for the aviation and defence industries. The team says it understands the pressure to deliver accurate technical publications on time, first time and within budget. It has experts from both civil and military aviation backgrounds. The team offers consultancy, data conversion, development, stylesheets, support and training.

The team supports S1000D projects. A typical S1000D project can contain thousands of data modules and supporting media. The notusCSDB common source database manages change tracking, version control, rollback and a full history for each asset. It is fully integrated with Eclipse S1000D authoring tools for Adobe FrameMaker, PTC Arbortext and SyncroSoft Oxygen.

The authoring tools are plugins that help writers produce compliant content quickly. They support S1000D and many ATA iSpec 2200 structures. These include CMM, AMM, SB, ACMM, AIPC, EM, EIPC and WDM. The team also offers crew publication and Shipdex tools, and a BREX checker to test content against business rules.

Logistics data can also be managed. The notusCSDB database can import common S1000D logistic data types, such as illustrated parts data modules and common repositories, for authors to insert by reference. The IPD Generator takes tabular spares data and, with a mapping file, creates a valid illustrated parts data module. The notusBookBuild product creates publications from S1000D data.

Training courses cover S1000D, S1000D Launchpad, S1000D business rules and Simplified Technical English (ASD-STE100). There is also training for Eclipse S1000D authoring, notusCSDB, notusBookBuild and Adobe FrameMaker. The team has run S1000D Launchpad events, including one in India in 2024.

The website has a technical publications blog, datasheets, an S1000D 101 eBook, videos and an events section. It also has pages for clients and partners. Enquiries can be sent through the contact form or by email to the aerospace and defence team.
