"From the very beginning, I witnessed the entry of the EKR ORCHESTRA into the Came Group. It was not always easy, in our company EKR ORCHESTRA is an interdepartmental project, and each department brings out its own complexity. The key advantages of the system are having a single repository for all information, clearly defining the names and surnames of those responsible, and updates: all you have to do is change a piece of data in one place for it to change wherever it appears.

In the initial phase we also revised the data and improved our information. This is now truly shared, there is no longer the risk of having to wait for days if one person is missing: EKR ORCHESTRA leads to work for the company and not the individual. In addition, we have extended EKR ORCHESTRA to the web world, finally getting a real product site."

EKR means an almost zero margin of error and significant time savings. We produce customized maintenance and usage technical documents in 8 to 20 language variants. The value of technical documentation has changed from the past. machinery is more complex and one mistake can lead you to court.

With EKR, we produce better content for cataloging, optimizing and retrieving data. Our vocation is technical and we tried to force the program: EKR is an open, flexible, potentially limitless system. It allows us to do practically anything we want. It can be complex for a basic user accustomed to using only Word and Excel, but if he is predisposed to change he will discover the great advantages it offers. "

Before EKR there is a lot of manual work to do, a database exporting the data and then working with InDesign. The work was very expensive because it had to be repeated by hand for all the other languages.

The challenge was to be able to layout a catalogue of thousands of product pages, several of which required the integration of special content, with the requirement to change the standard structure of the pages themselves. EKR ORCHESTRA is made precisely for this; we have taken it to the limit by asking for additional functionality that has been implemented to achieve the goal. The goal is precisely to completely eliminate manual intervention, and we are very close to achieving this.

Not to mention that the same information also has to flow on the web. With EKR ORCHESTRA we were able to automate a good part of the process, and that was the focus.

Before, there was a dedicated documentation office that worked with Word and InDesign. It was updated by hand, and they always had to be supported with continuous checks to verify the correctness of the data.EKR with flexibility gives you the possibility to modify a transversal element for many products, for us it is a fundamental aspect.

An example? We had to review the manuals with the new Ecolabel indications. One month to decide what to do, with EKR only 2 hours to do it! It is a very efficient system for continuous updates as in our sector, we must always keep up with the various regulatory reissues.

Not to mention the enormous cost savings for translations: before, everything was sent in full to be retranslated every time. In the end, the basic mechanism is simple, but the applications are very extensive.
