IETM has Viewer and Administrator and Author Modules6.
Otherwise, it plays in a standalone machine as a Viewer.OEM needs an S1000d author tool, commercially available off-the-shelf software to edit.OEM must have an s1000d CSDB server to deploy s1000d files.

Code and Pixels is an IETM level 4 and S1000D development company delivered 25 projects.
