Title: What is IETM and What is Not IETM?

2IETM Vs 3d Blowups
- There is a misconception about IETM. As the name
indicates interactive, then people assume that it
is a 3d based on blowup software. Interactive
means, users can browse or cross-refer or
interact with the software to search on a
particular topic/sub-topic. - Assume that you have 3000 pages in 10 different
manuals, you cannot refer to all the pages
quickly. But this interactive electronic
technical manual searches the entire database of
3000 pages in a second and displays results.
Because all the text is converted into the
database, hence search and retrieval will be done
in seconds. Users can see related topics and also
on rollover of text, users can see images, Video
or text descriptions, etc. - Users can save bookmarks and annotate text etc.
Users can see his search history, document access
history, etc. - These elements are called INTERACTIVITY. These
features power the document and make it an
Interactive electronic manual. These documents
are technical in nature and seen using electronic
devices hence they are termed interactive
electronic technical manuals.
3- Interactivity does not mean, clicking on the part
it will blow up into sub-parts, and clicking on a
subpart it will further blow up and an
explanation comes in voice-over, etc. - They are called 3d Blowups or 3d Virtual reality
models and Computer-based tutors (CBTs)
- Having said this, still we can put these 3d
blowups in IETM. If the Original equipment
manufacturer (OEM) has any videos or 3d animation
blowups then we can plug them into IETM.
4Understand the Meaning of the IETM
IETM Assignment
- This job is creating Interactive Technical
Manuals Level -4 - IETM Vendor will only make IETM by using inputs
given by the Client - Videos, Images, Cad drawings/PDF, to be provided
by Client only - Whatever Videos, Graphics, Diagrams, etc.
available with the client will be integrated into
IETM - IETM Vendor will not create any 3d animations or
3D Models, or 2 d Animations, 2d Drawings, etc.
Whatever the 3d file, OEM has, we will plugin in
IETM only. - Videography, photography or cad designing, blowup
drawings designing, etc. will not be done by the
IETM Vendor
5Documents Integrated in IETM
- 3d Animations and blowups can be taken as
separate tasks based on the complexity of the
system and the level of blowups that you want. We
have a separate division to take up such
assignments. - If your SCOPE /SOTR /RFP says IETM then stick to
IETM only. These 3d animations cost more than
IETM cost. - Another important point to check is which IETM
level the client/ SCOPE is asking for. Generally,
they may ask for Level 3 or Level 4. (If your RFQ
is 5 years old around 2016-17 then they may ask
for Level -2) - The latest RFPs / SCOPE asks for Level -4 only.
- If your client simply says IETM then opt for IETM
level 3 only. Because Level 4 costs almost double
of Level -3.
6Want to see the IETM software?
Until you see the software, you will not be able
to understand it fully. Hence, we strongly
recommend you have a virtual meeting for 15
minutes so that you will have a fair idea about
the IETM software. Write an email to
ietm_at_codeandpixels.net or call 9849527706 to fix
up the quick demo on IETM.
