In the current Oracle ERP implementation, A technical writer is a professional writer who designs, writes, creates, maintains, and updates technical documentation—including online help, user guides, white papers, design specifications, system manuals, and other documents. Engineers, scientists, and other professionals may also produce technical writing, sometimes handing their work to a professional technical writer for editing and formatting.

Technical writing may be on any subject that requires explanation to a particular audience. A technical writer is usually not a Subject Matter Expert (SME), but possesses and applies expertise to interview SMEs and conduct research necessary to produce accurate, comprehensive documents. Companies, governments and other institutions hire technical writers not for their expertise in a particular subject, but for their expertise in technical writing, i.e., their ability to gather information, analyze subject and audience, and produce clear documentation.
A good technical writer creates documentation that is accurate, complete, unambiguous, and as concise as possible. Technical writers communicate in many ways: printed documentation, web-based or other electronic documentation, training materials, and industrial film scripts.
