In an era when the e-world is reaching beyond the material Universe and almost everything turning digital, it becomes a duty of the Elite to give the plebeian an essence of the technological advancements. However, the Elite do understand a layman’s limitations, both psychological and existential – and is perhaps the only time when he agreed with the Technocrats worldwide. It was the Technocrats who longed to market their high-end technical innovations but was not knowledgeable enough to break down the tech-lingo into a simpler form. Upon their quest for a solution, they met the Elite who just loved studying technology, but this time he had to study the subject with the prime objective of explaining it to the common man in the easiest way possible. Nothing comes without a price, so technology had to face the commoner without its armaments i.e. the jaw-breaking terminologies and jargons through an inscribed gateway. The gateway under discussion is today’s Technical Writing, which marked the Second Coming of Technology.

What is Technical Writing?

A detailed or persuasive form of writing to convey information for technical or business purposes, technical writing needs to be useful and the presented information must be easily understood and acted upon. Highly under-rated as just what-to-do and how-to-do-it instructions, it is a difficult task demanding an easy and lucid style while writing about technical subjects. Very often technical writing has flat edge making documents, difficult and tedious to read. But there’s no reason why technical writing shouldn’t be lively and interesting.

Technical writing must follow certain guidelines, which are:

• An Intelligent architecture – The style of writing must allow the reader a prompt understanding of the subject.
• Avoidance of Confusion – Technical writing should be devoid of any expression whose meaning cannot be determined from its context.
• Choice of Words: Malapropism (misusing a word) or the usage of difficult words should be avoided as a rule of thumb.
• Conciseness – The writer should be capable of expressing a great deal in just a few words.

Needless to say, apart from the points mentioned above, grammatical rules should be given prime importance.

How does Technical Writing Work?

The sole idea of Technical writing is to convey information to the mass without the technical jargons associated through a three-fold process:

• The Language: Technical writing involves easy-to-understand, lucid language.
• The Instructions: Technical writing cuts short on technical complexity giving usability options the first preference.
• The Precision: Technical writing excludes irrelevant information that offers nothing significant to users.

The above points are the grounds where technical writing really cashes in. However, we must also present here the related fields where technical writing has sown its seeds. The table provided underneath is intended to provide a clear vision on the topic.

Since we started off this topic with the prime intention of explaining how technical writing aids the plebeian to comprehend the binary universe, for the time being, we shall concentrate only upon one of the aspects of basic technical writing, User Guide. A definition for the term is a must and it’s something, which should come first.

Primarily written for non-technical individuals; User Guides are technical communication document or instruction manuals that explain in layman’s terms how to use a software and are generally a part of some other documentation like System Administration guides or some other related material. These guidebooks are meant for a basic, if not a proper understanding of an application or system. Simple language with short sentences and accompanying graphics are considered key factors for any of these User Guides, the sole reason being to help the user as much as possible while he tries to muster in his head the different aspects of a given application. User Guides are generally read in a hurry; they only come out when one is frustrated and losing patience with the software. This is where the easy and lucid style of writing and illustrations come handy. A user guide comprises of several sections that help in getting the most out of the extensive functionality and content available. Usually, a user guide comprises of the following sections:

• A preface, containing details of related documents and information on how to best use the user guide.
• A contents page, listing the contents of the user guide.
• A guide on how to use at least the main functions of the system.
• A troubleshooting section detailing possible errors or problems that may occur along with how to fix them.
• A FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions).
• Where to find further help and contact details.
• A glossary and, for larger documents, an index.

The Mindset:

The common man is not interested in knowing the steps of an operation; his preference is always the result obtained by the click of a mouse. A user guide makes it easy for him to understand and gather the required information on how all of features in a software work.

What it offers:
Since user guides cut out on complexity, therefore, they:

Conclusion:

We have finally arrived at the Event Horizon where extremities have finally met. User guides have taken up the initiative to literate the entire mass, which so far shirked from the idea of getting technically endowed. The primary solution being provided and Artificial Intelligence taking its form, should we wait for the program which shall read human thoughts and execute the software functions, accordingly? Let the fastest pace of web content and human intelligence come up with the answer.

Being worried about your intellectual property while outsourcing your project makes a lot of sense. After all, this is what you are paying to get developed, right?  So let’s first understand what exactly IP covers: 

• Patents i.e. Inventions registered with government which will prevent anyone else from manufacturing or marketing it 
• Trademarks i.e. Name, Phrase, Sounds and Symbols which distinguishes your product and services 
• Copyrights i.e. Expressions of ideas but not the idea itself 
• Trade Secret i.e. Any formula, pattern, device or compilation of data that gives your company an advantage over competitors is a trade secret 

Let’s examine how your intellectual property can come under attack:

Immoral Employees 

Employees who is working on your project might not stay with the company forever. Once they are gone, they can sell the property or use (read as “reuse”) it in the next organization.

Immoral Companies 

The vendor may themselves feel welcomed to use the work for their own benefit i.e. launches a competing product at lower price.

Act of Theft 

A hack or theft of vendor’s servers or storage devices may make everything available to the entire world.

How do we protect your IP?

1. Signed Agreement with your organization 

We sign an agreement with your organization that grants you full, exclusive and irrevocable rights to the IP. This agreement is only subject to one clause i.e. there should not be any outstanding money against your account.

2. Signed Agreement with Employees 

Each employee at Indus signs an agreement which basically ensures that any work product at Indus cannot be used outside our organization. In case of a breach of such agreement, we can proceed immediately with legal action.

3. Secured Infrastructure 

Indus employs fulltime in-house system administrators who ensure that our staging servers both in USA and India are monitored 24/7 for its usage. The servers are also physically secured.  

Thus, go ahead and outsource in peace!

Measuring the profitability can be tricky if you are a “Fixed cost project” based service provider and you have established a team over here to execute these projects which is billed as per ”Dedicated Hiring” Model.

Here is the basic problem:

The fee that you pay for dedicated hiring service is based on “Time” i.e. you have pay monthly whereas, the money that you get from your customers is based on “Project Delivery” or “Fixed Fees”.

These two are measured in different units and thus comparing them is faulty.  

Why do people make this mistake?

Well, the root of the problem is when you start measuring the ROI of this service on a project to project basis.

A project might seem unprofitable if you quote only $100 for it and the programmer took 3 days to do. There is so much that could have gone wrong. The most obvious thing can be that, it was complex or involved something with which the programmer had no prior experience. So it took more time.

So, the question is how exactly should you measure the profitability?

Actually, it’s pretty simple -

Take the sum total of payments that you have received from your clients in the current month. Now, subtract this amount with the amount of money that you have to pay for the programmer’s services. This figure determines the overall profitability of the service!

This measure is more effective because, the programmer is working on multiple projects there will be cycles of before-time or delayed deliveries which will cancel out each other at the end of the month.

Besides, this service is all about looking at a bigger picture which you simply cannot see in project-to-project based relationships.
