HowTo

Etteplan HowTo is not a single tool — it is a family of digital service products used to create, manage, publish, and deliver technical information efficiently. It consists of three core components, each serving a different part of the content value chain:

HowTo Create

A managed content creation service built on structured authoring (DITA) and a Component Content Management System (CCMS).

Key capabilities:

  • Structured content creation using DITA or S1000D based CCMS
  • Full digital content workflow for authoring, reviewing, reuse, and publishing
  • Use of HyperSTE to comply with writing and safety standards
  • Managed service model — Etteplan’s team creates content, customer SMEs review and contribute
  • No vendor lock‑in (DITA/S1000D-based, multichannel outputs)
  • Direct connection to HowTo Deliver for publishing

Value:
Consistency, reuse, faster content creation, transparency, and better quality.

HowTo Deliver

A SaaS Content Delivery Platform (CDP) used to publish and deliver technical information digitally.

Key capabilities:

  • Publishes structured (XML/HTML) and unstructured (PDF, media) content
  • Advanced search, filtering, and role‑based access
    Feedback, usage analytics, personalization, and task-oriented content consumption
  • API-first architecture, multiple tenant setups (demo, staging, production)

Value:
Enables modern digital product experiences and reduces reliance on PDFs.

HowTo Parts

A spare-part information system as a service, providing structured, configurable parts information.

Key capabilities:

  • End‑to‑end management of spare part data
  • Vendor agreements and SLAs for reliability
  • Integrated with the overall HowTo ecosystem: Create → Deliver → Parts

Value:
Better parts identification, fewer errors, and improved service efficiency.
