Solution

Four years of broadening scope

  1. Content migration
  2. Technical writing
  3. Translation & terminology
  4. Graphics & 3D rendering

Four areas of work that broadened continuously over four years: content migration, technical writing, translation and terminology management, graphic design including 3D modelling.

Test architecture for automated rendering

The team also took on a test-architect role, designing test strategies for an automated photo- and 3D-rendering tool.

Results

The ongoing collaboration allows Grundfos to document and manage its products and systems robustly across their entire lifecycle, from initial idea to market launch. It has also given both organizations the chance to grow together, share knowledge and learn from one another, with the Sigma Technology team becoming an integral part of how Grundfos works.
