In a word, no. With regards to custom applications, most vendors have tech
writers who document the total functionality of the application and then
have trainers who take that information and mold it to fit each customer's
needs. In some cases the vendor will create the application and document
its features and then leave most of the customization work for a
third-party partner.

Got a question:
Do you think that tech trainers are taking over the role of tech writers in
today's arena for custom apps?
