docDownload is the natural link to the desktop for anyone required to produce a document in the Australian personal, business and corporate environments. We seek to provide you with a fully researched template to publication standard for any document required in these environments. We produce templates that will save you at least 40% of your document preparation time. Because of the nature of the documents we work on, some templates could save you up to 90% of this document preparation time.
We have a small team of technical writers who are very experienced in document preparation in the Australian business and corporate world. The documents are produced with awareness of the requirements placed on technical writers by national and international standards and the law.
We have hundreds of fully prepared templates that can be downloaded individually by casual users at very reasonable prices; many are free.
And we are looking to enter into a long term relationship with small- to medium-sized businesses in every State in Australia and with corporate tech writers in the key divisions such as Head Office, IT, HR, Marketing, Risk Management, and Project Management. If you become a member, all documents (except a few third party products) on the site are available to you at no extra cost! And members may send a request to our team for additional documents to be published on the docDownload website.
Happy downloading!

which might help you find something quickly.
Do you prefer a picture?
Our documents are prepared by tech writers who have pretty complex views of the world. Some people prefer
to see a visual representation first before they read the text. For this we provide a series of Content Maps!
For an example see the
Corporate Content Map
or the Project Management Content Map!
There is often a Content Map available on the front page of the Section. Look out for them. There are also other Content Maps
and workflows available as documents to download. A good example is the
End of Life Model.
Many of them are free.
Interested in Corporate ETHICS?
Our small team of tech writers are very interested in Corporate Ethics and have embarked on a long term project to provide
work with direct impact and clarity for those contemplating important ethical issues in a corporate environment. We have just set up a new Ethical dictionary.
For an example see the work to date on
Code of Ethics,
Code of Conduct, and
Code of Practice.
Examples of the work are available if you click on the pre-download heading.

Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP)
The disaster recovery manual (DRP) is the key document that will be used at the moment of a declared 'disaster'. It needs to be kept up to date by the Disaster Recovery Co-ordinator so that all the elements in it can be relied upon at the moment of crisis. This DRP is based on a cold site plan but the structure can be used for cold, warm and hot disaster recovery plans. It contains examples of mainframe present and future requirements calculations and shortfall assessments. International IT planning document. (R-2004)

Stage 3 - User specification
Following a successful feasibility study at stage 2, we now move into a detailed User Specification. It contains two detailed planning documents plus a process flow diagram, a simple (14 steps) procedure, glossaries, etc. This document (the user specification) is the key project document that will detail all user requirements, both in operational and functional terms, action plans, timelines, budget for resources and set the standards for the rest of the project. Small projects with limited resources and fast-tracking projects (that is, those not required to perform a feasibility study) begin with this document. International IT planning document. (F-1009)
|
Stage 4 - (*) System specification (all documents)
Following an approved user specification at stage 3, the next step is the preparation of a detailed System Specification, that will be approved by the board as the basis for all system development to follow. After this is finalised and approved, all changes to the plan must be represented by a change request and costed, approved and recorded in the amendment record in stage 5. We have also given real definition to the implementation plan and the procurement plan which become the key documents for project reporting in the stages to follow. We have also included a process flow diagram, a simple (16 steps) procedure, glossaries, etc. International IT planning document. (F-1010)

* ANY - Article 9: Options for a non performing ERP project
What are the options for a failed or non performing ERP project?. This article, by Raymond D. Atkinson, describes the key options available. (SM-0009)

* ANY - Article 10: Process change in ERP projects
A significant factor in the disappointment with ERP systems is the failure of organisations to take the opportunity to radically change how the business operates with the ERP technology available to them. ERP opens up a world of technology 'processing solutions' that eliminate the need for many manual processes and controls. To take advantage of these solutions we need to consciously re-engineer these manual processes and eliminate 'cost-adding' activities that provide no value. This article, by Raymond D. Atkinson, describes the need for these changes. (SM-0010)

* ANY - Article 7: ERP, yesterday's great vision!
ERP, yesterday's great vision! Today we don't discuss it in public! The amount of corporate effort, not to mention cost, that goes into an ERP acquisition and implementation can run into many millions of dollars. Its implementation can severely damage a company and it is not unknown for a company to end up bankrupt as a result. We are now seeing multi-million dollar lawsuits emerging as companies are no longer prepared to be misled into spending millions only to find that the information that they were given and were working with was less than accurate.To fully understand what is happening here we must firstly go back to basics. This article, by Raymond D. Atkinson, gives us 'The Devil's Triangle'. (SM-0007)
