Technical Writing
We produce:
  1.  Advertising Copy. Your ads require words, especially in longer formats.
  2.  Articles. Articles can appear in local business magazines, a professional journals, or even self-published. They may be explanatory or marketing oriented.
  3.  Reports. When you finish a project, you need to write that final report in a way that your client can understand.
  4.  Booklets. These can be how-to or explanatory documents that are shorter and more single-purpose than a full book.
  5.  Books. Describe your technologies and/or business in detail. We also provide editing services.
  6.  Brochures. Most businesses use brochures, data sheets, technical specs, and other detailed informational handouts.
  7.  Business Plans. We can put your business ideas into an organized, concrete format using smooth, clear prose.
  8.  Manuals. A poorly written manual is a major complaint of users. Don’t develop a great product and cripple it with badly designed documentation that is both difficult and incomplete.
  9.  Multimedia Scripts. There are many methods to demonstrate your products, and one of the best ways is through multimedia presentations that can be streamed over the Internet, packaged on a DVD or CD, or even broadcast. If you’re going to provide narration, we can provide the words.
 
  1.  Newsletters. Whether they’re weekly, monthly or even yearly, and whether they are for internal company use or for your clients, well written newsletters can be an important source of information.
  2.  Presentations. Do you have to make important presentations? They can be sales talks, final reports, technical demonstrations, even internal company meetings. And you can’t create a good presentation from mediocre words.
  3.  Press Releases. A poorly written press release can find its way into a newspaper and reflect poorly on your business.
  4. Proposals. Every word in a proposal is important. We have helped produce many successful proposals.
  5.  Sales Letters. Your sales staff can sell, so let them sell while Berdan Technical Services helps you develop their sales tools.
  6.  Software Documentation. There are many different types of software documentation, from manuals to help screens. Wonderful software with poor documentation won’t sell.
  7. Speeches. Enhance your speaking skills with a professionally written speech.
  8.  Web Content. Your web site is important to your organization, and graphics and images do not tell your story: the words do!
  9.  White Papers. A white paper is an authoritative report meant to educate your clients, help people make decisions, and promote your technologies.
Background, Portfolio and Credentials
Technical writers come with many different backgrounds, but we combine a technical with a literary background, both in academic degrees and experience.
Here are our credentials, our portfolio and a bibliography of published papers.
  1. Technical communications is an essential part of any project, and your project is not complete until the documentation is finished and is concise and understandable to your clients and customers.
  2. Every word your business produces is an advertisement. Do these words accurately explain your business?
  3. We take your ideas and put them into words.
  4. We combine technical expertise with writing skills to produce successful documents.
  5. We produce on budget, so you can predict your costs.
  6. We produce on schedule.
  7. When your staff is overloaded and deadlines approach, we can get your jobs done. And you don’t have the expense of a new hire.
  8. Let’s face it: your technical staff probably hates to write. Let them do what they are good at and leave the writing to us.
