*instinctools adds another productivity ace to its Eclipse based services portfolio

Online, September 17, 2009 (Newswire.com) - *instinctools GmbH is a European IT firm which is engaged in Eclipse-based applications and plug-ins development for its own self as well as their customers. As a result of their experiences with Eclipse-based development, they felt an urgent need for a documentation tool which could streamline the documentation process in a more systematic way and increase the quality of the documentation. And so they decided to embed Eclipse specific functionalities with full support for Eclipse development in their documentation tool, DITAworks.

The Eclipse module for DITAworks is a direct result of *instinctools' years of practical Eclipse based development experience. *instinctools has been successfully delivering quality Java and Eclipse based services to varied industrial segments for many years. There is a range of Eclipse services which *instinctools currently caters to; the main ones of these are:

----- Consulting around Eclipse Technology

DITAworks is developed on Eclipse platform itself and is a good reference for Eclipse based application and the benefits of Eclipse platform in developing a state-of-the-art product. *instinctools has also been developing Eclipse based applications and plug-ins for its customers which also includes some well-known and established firms in the area of IT application development.

There are various strategic reasons why *instinctools has been using Eclipse platform for developing DITAworks itself and focusing on documentation of Eclipse development in DITAworks. These reasons have mainly to do with Eclipse platform being an optimal development platform. The benefits of Eclipse platform development include increased ROI and decreased TCO because of it being open source, flexibility of Eclipse framework with extensive integration capabilities, leveraging possibility of a large and knowledgeable Eclipse community, and last but not the least, Eclipse already being a proven platform.
