Allard is a technical writing services company, providing turn-key technical manuals for our clients. We specialize in technical writing, with an emphasis on "technical". Our writers have a technical background, some with engineering degrees. We are not journalism or liberal arts majors. Our writers are comfortable working directly with technicians, engineers, and project managers.

Why Outsource Manuals?

Our clients realize a number of benefits by outsourcing their technical manuals to Allard. In most cases, technical writing workloads are not consistent; there's a lot of work to be done with a new product introduction, but at other times the workload is minimal. Many companies can't justify the cost of a full-time technical writer given this up-and-down workload.

As a result, many companies end up delegating their technical manuals to an engineer, manager, or marketing staff. How much are you paying that engineer to do technical writing? Doesn't it make more sense to have a professional technical writer creating a quality document?

And if you're using a contract tech writer on an hourly basis, take a minute to think about that. What incentive does a contractor have to finish the job early, or even on schedule? Working on a fixed-price basis, Allard strives to complete projects as soon as possible.

Air Force requires SGML

Allard works with several customers providing technical orders to the U.S. Air Force, particularly for equipment acquired by the Warner-Robins ALC in Georgia. In 2010, WR-ALC started requiring our customers to deliver SGML-tagged files for final delivery. If your company needs assistance with SGML work, give us a call. More information...

Allard has relocated!

In July 2010, Allard relocated our offices to Lubbock, TX. As the majority of our clients are located well outside the former location in the Dallas area, the overall impact of the move is negligible for our customers. Rest assured, Allard will continue to work hard to provide the best possible documentation services to all our clients.
