The Problem
A major corporation encountered challenges with a consistent layout and design for their 15,500 operating and maintenance procedures.

Challenges

- Need for cohesion with company standards and in country regulations
- Fragmented workflow processes
- Inadequate standards enforcement
- Content upgrade for clarity and safety
- "One size fits all" mentality
