IETM 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.

• 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.

Understand 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

Documents 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.

Want 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.
