Abstract
Whether an organization uses technical communicators as a permanent part of its organization or hires them on a per project basis, depends on the organization´s culture, flexibility, and real and perceived costs. As technology continues to advance, technical communication demands are prompting organizations to recognize technical communicators as valuable internal resources whose capabilities extend beyond writing. Using professional communication skills and technical knowledge, a permanent Technical Communications Group functions as a vital link to an organization´s customers and employees
