At Horsell Technical Communications, we specialise in transforming legacy documentation and unstructured data into modern, accessible, and compliant formats. Our structured content services ensure information is not only preserved but optimised for usability, accuracy, and compliance with standards such as S1000D, DEF(AUST) IPS-5630, and client-specific requirements.
Whether it’s starting from scratch or converting scanned hard copies, reformatting outdated manuals, or migrating content into XML or SGML-based systems, our team applies rigorous methodologies to deliver structured, searchable, and future-ready documentation.
By combining deep Defence and industry knowledge with leading content management practices, we help organisations reduce risk, cut costs, and improve through-life support.
