Silmaril Consultants

The Information Consultancy

What we can do for you

Documentation and publishing
Structured information systems
If you are creating or supplying structured information such as formal or technical documentation (whatever the field), we can help with:
  • project specification;
  • requirements and document analysis;
  • document type designs and descriptions (DTDs);
  • output specification (including formatting);
  • end-user training.
Automated typesetting
In parallel with the move to online delivery, many users still need publication-quality typeset formatting for paper printing or high-quality display, using the same master files used for their main information systems (above). We can help with:
  • one-off or batch formatting;
  • design and implementation of stylesheets;
  • installation of production systems;
  • typesetting books and manuals.
Information manipulation and programming
Textual therapy
Difficulties with the information flow in an organisation can sometimes be caused by using information in a way which is less than optimal. By studying the way you create and store your information, and the way you and your customers use it, it is possible to identify areas which need treatment, and thus improve the flow of information.
Web site analysis
Most Web sites either grow organically from ad hoc beginnings, or they start with a design but then outgrow it. We can help analyse what's actually in your Web site, how it's used, and what information needs to be considered if you are having it redesigned or re-engineered.
