About Rob Hanna
Rob Hanna co-founded Precision Content in 2013 to change the way technical writers and instructional design professionals approach structured authoring. Having spent more than a decade helping organizations move to component content management he realized that organizations need to take a step beyond technology and expert consultants.Without fostering the necessary standards and skills to work in this new media, organizations would continue to stall in their attempt to move to structured authoring. With this knowledge, he developed the Precision Content® methods, tools, and training. Today, Rob and his team of experts help Precision Content clients make the move to structured authoring as seamless as possible.
