Documentation - for professionals and end users:

In addition to providing guidance, I was also responsible for the complete LK Product Catalog, which contained system descriptions (of e.g. IHC Control) and all products listed.
1. When the catalog filled up, filled up a lot, the editorial took place in Adobe FrameMaker,
2. The company published the catalog in both printed and electronic versions
Also Product Information, which contained news, I was responsible for. The focus here was on writing promotional texts – in collaboration with Marketing.
