  1. Do we really need IETM (Class IV/ Level 4)? Do we have any alternatives? Well If Ianswer this question in one word, it’s YES. OEM definitely needs IETM. Then I need to justify why “YES”And about alternatives if any. Now IETM has become a mandatory deliverable when OEM is supplying any Electrical, Mechanical or electronic systems to the Navy/IAF/Army All manuals i.e. UHB, TechnicalManuals soft copies / PDFs anyhow how willbe given on DVD and the samewillalso begiven as Hard copies. IETM software/DVD is also supplied along with them.

  2. What is thefullform of IETM -Code And Pixels What exactly is ETM? In simpler words, it’s an electronic copy of your user manuals. PDF is also an electronic manual. Let’s assume that yoursystem has 20 Documents around 5000 pages altogether and you have delivered them on DVD. When a problem arises, the operator needs to refer hard copy for a solution. Suppose, there is an issue with a pieceof equipment, i.e. receiver. Now, theuser has to refer User manual, maintenance manual, and troubleshooting manual which may be more documents to resolve the issue. Referring to 5-6hardcopy manualswill be difficult. And moreover, we cannot do “Ctrl +F” searches as we can do in PDF. Hence refereeing Hardcopy isdifficult. Then how about referring to PDF? Yes, certainly, a PDFis better than a HARDcopy. Still, we need to refer to multiple pages and multiple documents. Switching between pages and documents is also very difficult. Cross-reference is also a challenge or limitation in PDF. In such a scenario, IETM is very handy and user-friendly. With a single click, we can get complete information from all 5000 pages and wecan havefilters to narrow down our search criteria wecan have hyperlinks within the manuals and also to other manuals, hyperlinks to Images, videos, and drawings for more clarity on the issue that we are searching.

  3. The Main Purpose Of IETM IETM: is to fasten the search process. A user should find the required information in seconds. The user interface will allow users to reach a specific point very easily and conveniently. Users can do annotations and book markings too. Like Google, IETM also saves search history and can suggest related keywords or Best matches, etc. These IETMs are password protected hence, an unauthorized person cannot access the documents. Advantages of Interactive Electronic Technical Manual (IETM) -Code And Pixels We can increase or decrease the font size. We can see it in full screen. IETM is browser-based henceit uses very less system resources and is very fast. IETM is developed in angular and Node JS hence, the software adjusts in all sizes of monitors/displays. IETM also contains allthe manuals and drawings arranged in a predefined manner and in theproper TableofContent. Hence, userscan also refer to original manuals and drawings too.

  4. Glossaries and observations also add flavor to the usage. IETMcanbeservedasa “DIGITALLIBRARY” or “Repository“ontheequipment. One MNC/OEM has provided complete Documents, Images, Videos, Drawings illustrations, test documents, and Acceptance Letters everything into IETM apartfrom regular User manuals and production manuals. It is like a one-stop solution for every reference. IfOEMhasany 3d VideosthenwecanplugthemintoIETMtoo. The bottom line is that IETMs are a really very effective method to refer to manuals. Coming back to the question, of do we really need IETM, then thestraight- forward answer is if your Tender document says so, then you need to deliverIETM. ThereareNOalternatives forIETM. IETM has specific guidelines mentioned by the JointServiceGroup – (JSG). YouTube IETM JSG 0852 working process JSG – 0852:2001 is the Indian Standard of IETM and s1000d is the European standard of IETM We are proud to be in… 00:17 IETM JSG0852 working process -Code And Pixels My tender does not specify Level 3 or Level -4. What should I do? WehavecomeacrossafewTenders,especially3-4yearsbacktenders, wheretheclienthasjust mentioned IETM only. Did not mention whether it is Level3orLevel -4. Generally, the costforLevel4is almost double of costof Level -3. Hence you can take decisions based on the size of systems i.e. number of pages etc. Ifpagesarebelow1000, youcanproposeordeliverLevel -3.
