Strengths of SCHEMA ST4 at a glance

Discover how ST4 makes your work noticeably easier:

ST4's Web Author makes writing technical content easier than ever—without needing any XML knowledge or locally installed software. Working directly in the browser, it is intuitive to use and ideal for anyone who wants to create or revise content—not just for documentation professionals!

 

ST4 works to the principle of modular flexibility rather than one-off development and offers powerful standard functions that can be customized quickly, securely, and ready for future requirements.

 

High degree of automation out of the box. Many automation functions are already integrated as standard in SCHEMA ST4—without any additional programming. For example, recurring tasks are automated using wizards and rule-based processes. 

 

Think globally with multilingual metadata and taxonomies. Regardless of product group, market region, or target group, ST4 makes it possible to create and use metadata in multiple languages without any additional workarounds. Even when your organization expands into new international markets, your data structure remains clear and consistent.

 

Typical challenges - and how SCHEMA ST4 solves them

When working with TIM, similar challenges often arise. SCHEMA ST4 addresses these specifically:

Update hassle and maintenance costs?
With ST4, manual updates are a thing of the past. Regular updates are included automatically without any additional effort or costs on your part.

 

Limited flexibility with layouts and structures?
With SCHEMA ST4 you can adapt layouts, designs, and information models easily and flexibly without needing complex projects or long development phases.

 

Difficult to collaborate with colleagues in other departments?
Thanks to modern, intuitive interfaces hosted in a cloud-based environment, every stakeholder can easily contribute their expertise in ST4 without needing any prior technical knowledge.

 

Manual activities such as metadata maintenance eating up valuable time?
With AI tools such as the ST4 AI Jetpack, you can automatically generate metadata up to 80% more quickly and much more reliably than by hand. And that’s just the beginning: additional AI functions support you with routine tasks and make your work noticeably easier.

 

Migration - structured, secure, and managed

Changing systems does not have to present a risk. With the right approach, migrating from TIM to SCHEMA ST4 becomes a calculable and successful project.
We organize the migration process together with you, deploying all the combined expertise of Quanos and Fischer. You benefit from proven methods, clear time frames, and individual support—from the initial meeting right through to the live launch.

Our migration approach includes:

  • Strategy workshops to define objectives and identify technical hurdles
  • Mapping your existing content and models to the ST4 logic
  • Data transfer with proven tools and procedures
  • Training and onboarding measures for your technical writing team

The graphic below shows an example migration process for an existing TIM customer. It should be noted that every migration project is unique, but with a clear roadmap and our tried-and-tested approach, we can pave the way to a new system environment together.
