Abacus Data works closely with your Training Managers to discover your training
requirements, suggest possible solutions, advise on style and content, and create
and develop the course materials. Computer-based training courses are created,
using our in-house product, the Abacus Interactive Training System (ITS) for
simulating your own software, or Macromedia Authorware for 'soft' skills.
Almost all user guides are written by techies who know the product intimately.
This gives rise to three pervasive problems:
1 - technospeak;
2 - the assumption that end-users have prior essential knowledge;
3 - unclear, confusing, ambiguous, omitted instructions and poor English.
Abacus personnel with science and arts backgrounds solve all of these problems.
The techie - user communication gap is bridged. We assume the end-user to know as
much about your product as we do – nothing, unless you say otherwise. All documents
written by us are clear, concise, intelligible, unambiguous, and are guaranteed
to be error-free. On-line and printable versions are produced, according to your
wishes.
Graphical work includes logos, drawings, flyers, posters, packaging design, photography,
photo enhancement, floor plans and 3D rendering, video and sound editing.
Documents are written by Abacus Data Systems in impeccable English (British
or American), free of all spelling errors, with correct grammar and punctuation,
and with good style. Yet they remain clear, concise, easily understandable and
unambiguous. Discretion is guaranteed.
Abacus has the technology to display rich interactive presentations on your web
site, complete with video, sound, animation and slides.
Your company's image is important to you. The impression of your company is
important to your customer. If your company logo could attract new customers
to look more closely at your products or services, could it enhance your business?
‘Dirty’ or old photos can be retouched to appear clean and fresh. Colours can
be brightened. Items can be removed or added. Shadows can be created. Various
stunning effects can be applied, to give the impression you want. Send your raw
video footage to Abacus for editing and transfer to DVD. Your still photos can
also be formed into a slideshow with suitable music. Abacus sound engineers make
new recordings in our own studio, or can edit yours. Our musicians compose songs
and jingles for any purpose.
Flyers and leaflets abound nowadays. Most of them are filed in the bin without
a second glance. An amateurish poster is rarely taken seriously. Successful advertising
flyers and leaflets have an immediate impact on the recipient. Posters must be
eye-catching and attractive. Abacus is skilled in copywriting and producing ideas
and designs which are effective.
Q.1 - Is your business operating at maximum efficiency?
Q.2 - Are you making enough profit?
Q.3 - Are you happy with your running costs?
If you answered “No” to any of these questions, your business may be in need of some tweaking or even a complete overhaul.
An Abacus business analyst, as an outsider, can offer a fresh outlook on problems you may have with your business processes and work flow. Formal methods of business process reengineering (BPR) are used to provide workable solutions in an easily understood format.
