We create instruction manuals that offer easy-to-understand explanations on product use.
Although the elements required in instruction manuals for the general consumer differ from those needed in manuals for professionals, by striving for easy-to-understand explanations in both, we hope to clearly convey the intents and desires that developers put into their products.
Moreover, for customers who seek a new outlook free from the preconceptions of their own companies or industries, we offer proposals that utilize examples and viewpoints from other industries and business circles, based on the wealth of business successes that are our strength.

We create technical manuals for use when performing repair and maintenance on products.
CDS possesses the know-how needed to read and understand technical materials such as product specifications and diagrams created by designers and developers, and then through examinations of the actual physical product and visits to the workplace, authors manuals that allow service staff to perform their work correctly.
Since this requires that the product configuration and operating principles be understood correctly, we focus on training our staff to have a thorough knowledge of our customers' products.
We provide assistance in a wide variety of industries that request both instruction manuals and service manuals, ranging from vehicles to medical devices, household electrical appliances, precision equipment, industry machinery, factory automation machinery, and communications equipment.

We are capable of operating world-wide, and of multilingual translation of documents of all kinds.
In order to provide accurate translation of unusual language such as industry and specialist terms or technical vocabulary, we operate a unique resource management and selection system in which translators with a range of backgrounds and experience are registered.
We also utilize translation assistance tools that allow us to reduce cost and standardize expressions by referring to and re-using existing translations.
We work with over 70 languages from countries around the world.

CDS creates materials for in-house presentations and content for promotions, with documents of all types available in both paper and digital form.
We leverage the know-how we have gained through document creation to organize any information required in place of our customers, supporting the entire content creation process from scenario creation and storyboarding through to information collecting and editing.
CDS' abilities are further enhanced by our in-house engineering department, where we can make effective use of 3D CAD design data to create high-quality CG and animations.

From paper to digital, and beyond. Planning and development of manuals that eliminate the need to search.
CDS aims to make documents and manuals that allow users to find what they are looking for with ease, and which will utilize intuitive operation to eliminate the act of searching in the future.
We offer creative initiatives and proposals to craft manuals that are closer to—or even part of—products, and which guide users to solutions.
