Why Betase?

  • Betase is ideally suited to support research institutes, high-tech SMEs and production companies that are at the beginning of the technical development of a new (complex) device, possibly for production in small numbers, and that need a user manual for this purpose. As a small company with very short lines of communication, Betase can respond well, quickly and flexibly to changes within such a development process. The driving force behind Betase has his own experience as a researcher/developer in research institutes and within technical SMEs.
  • Betase can spar and ‘think like a user’ during the development of a (new) device or software.
  • Professional: Betase has software such as Adobe Indesign and Illustrator to deliver fully-formatted manuals as a print-ready PDF file, from which a print shop can create a paper manual/booklet.
  • Practical: Betase can also supply a written manual as a Microsoft Word file, so that the manufacturer of the device can update the manual him/herself. Not everyone within technical SMEs has Indesign software to do this themselves, but ‘everyone’ has MS Word …
