The document discusses the business challenges of inaccessible, outdated, and undeliverable technical information for service workers. It states that on average, service workers spend 56% of their day on non-productive tasks like searching for information. The document then summarizes PTC's Technical Information solution, which aims to create structured and illustrated product-centric content, manage that content and changes to it, and deliver configuration-specific graphical information to improve service efficiency. Some benefits highlighted include reductions in authoring time, increases in meeting quality targets, and increases in customer satisfaction.

non-productive tasks.”
