Welcome to the official website of Adatto Inc., supplier of English-language technical editing and consulting services to corporate clients in North America and beyond. We offer editing and writing solutions for software and Help documentation, e-learning courseware, market-oriented Web content development, and engineering studies.
Our mandate is to improve language used in business and technical draft documents to ensure that they are clear and readable to end-user and stakeholder audiences. We actually read and digest each line to ferret out and fix any inaccuracies or ambiguities, and to verify logical flow and correct current usage for a given project or discipline.
The name Adatto comes from an Italian word capturing the qualities of our core services. It means adapted, apt, befitting, correct, proper, suitable, or well-suited.
We look forward to helping you ensure that all your business documents are “adatto”.

In a nutshell, here are three essential guiding principles to ensure quality documentation:
- Recast Engineerese as plain English
Hold onto your Enterprise JavaBeans, Festus, here comes the Word sheriff!
- Enforce structural integrity and logic
In the copy-and-paste era, scrutiny of overall cohesion is one of the best reasons to budget for good editorial oversight.
- But always be gracious to your SME
They're called experts for a reason. So unless a line editor is a P.Eng to boot, the bottom line is never compromise the data.
