The Outreach Content Management System was developed years ago, and is continuously enhanced to address the special needs of our client's technical documentation requirements, such as the unique demands of Model and Serial categorization. In these cases, the system tracks every part and any relative notes relating to a given model and/or serial number.

This automated data management system is fully Windows® compliant and runs in a stand-alone or network environment. This design takes full advantage of low cost PC, file server, scanner, laser printer, CD-ROM, and web technology.

The combination of this low cost yet high yielding technology is our solution to the constantly changing documentation demands of customers.

OUTREACH® by GGS is a true Just-In-Time (JIT) technical documentation system, meaning that information such as parts catalogs can now be updated and produced within just 24 hours from the time of production.
