In a groundbreaking digital transformation initiative, Electrosuisse has successfully modernized its approach to managing and distributing technical standards across Switzerland’s electrical industry.
Challenges for a Standards Development Organization
The professional association Electrosuisse creates various training materials (standards, guidelines, and instructions) using different tools and offers them in print through their shop or on the web platform NIN Online.
Electrosuisse’s previous system struggled with complex norm structures and multilingual content management. Manual updates across three languages were not only time-consuming but also prone to inconsistencies.
The solution: Smart Standards, which enable dynamic, automated content management across platforms and languages – reducing manual effort while ensuring consistency and accuracy.
Modern Technical Documentation
The implementation of an XML-first workflow brought significant improvements:
- Establishment of a single source of truth for all content
- Automated production of print PDFs and digital content
- Seamless content management in German, French, and Italian
- Real-time content synchronization across platforms
From XML to bitmark to the user
The workflow begins with Edupartner structuring content in XML format, which is then converted to bitmark format for integration with the Get More Brain solution.
The transformation process is straightforward since both XML and bitmark are structured content formats. Once the mapping between elements is defined, the conversion can happen automatically, maintaining the content’s hierarchical organization and relationships while preserving all metadata and formatting instructions.
The bitmark format in Get More Brain enables structured organization, optimal searchability, and seamless distribution of content across all user devices.
A key achievement of this modernization is the mobile accessibility of the NIN-Standard, allowing professionals to access critical technical standards directly from their smartphones. Everywhere. Everytime.
