Manufacturing
Intralox is the global conveyance solutions leader, specializing in modular plastic conveyor belts and related services and equipment. The Technical Communications Group creates and maintains internal and customer-facing product documentation, such as product literature, design guidelines, manuals, policies and procedures.
With the company slogan ‘Reliably Inventive’, it’s no surprise that Intralox is constantly looking for ways to do things better. That’s why in 2018, the company decided to evaluate their content strategy and change the way they produce, maintain and distribute their technical documentation.
“Moving to DITA and implementing Tridion has allowed us to harness and gain more control. It’s provided us with new ways to think about content—how we use it, who creates it, how we share it. It’s given us more flexibility and opportunities we didn’t have before.”
