  • Excellent collaboration when SMEs need to provide content, review, and approve documentation.

  • We are quicker to produce a very complex user manual and we believe our products are quite complex to describe
  • Re-use to a very high extent, almost 60% more or less guarantees that we reduce the risks by reusing already approved content to a large extent
  • Check-in and check-out of objects is done easily and there is no or very low risk of mistakes due to several people working at the same time

Paligo is not only improving all our ways of working with technical documentation, it is also fun to work in!
