How We Turned Customers into Users (or Believers): A Planifi case study

Planifi products have been built from the ground up to help Architecture and Engineering (A/E) firms make better decisions. Visual, intuitive, and flexible – Planifi products are optimized for A/E operations and practices.
In this case study, we will look at how Planifi worked with a technical writer remotely to document their suite of project management tools targeted particularly at project managers and architects.
We look at how the content went from being field/screen level to task-based and how other content (hover image, videos) replaced and complemented text based on customer feedback. Some of this help content was initially used by Planifi founders for training customers, so it made sense to make it as streamlined as possible for multiple uses – product help, training and customer support.

 

What can the audience expect to learn?

This talk will give the audience something to think about content reuse and how it can help with delivering a consistent message across different customer channels.
