We were looking at some of the survey results from the ISTC’s 2015 survey of technical communicators in the UK.
The survey reported:
- 37.5% of the respondents worked as the sole technical communicator in their organisation.
- 76% worked in an organisation with six technical communicators or fewer.
This means, in the UK, it’s harder to justify the ROI of large scale content management systems. With less content being created, the benefits may not outweigh the cost of the software. It also means that UK technical communicators need to rely more on resources outside their company if they want to develop with skills and keep up to date with trends.
The ISTC’s next survey is due for release in February 2016. We suspect we’ll find similar findings in that report.
Hello,
