Introduction to NIVOMAX

What is NIVOMAX?
NIVOMAX is a comprehensive Interactive Electronic Technical Publications (IETP) and Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals (IETM) platform designed to consolidate and deliver technical publication data to professionals in the aviation industry. It is an ideal solution for supporting mixed fleets, multi-specs, and multi-OEM-sourced tech publications.
What NIVOMAX is Not
NIVOMAX is not a Component Content Management System (CCMS) or a content authoring tool. It does not maintain a Common Source DataBase (CSDB) for S1000D compliance. Instead, it processes content that has been created and structured within a CCMS, seamlessly exporting it into the NIVOMAX Builder. The Builder then prepares the content in IETM/IETP formats for accurate and secure delivery to end users. While NIVOMAX offers print outputs, it is primarily a digital platform and does not generate book-format outputs.
What does NIVOMAX do?
NIVOMAX offers a range of capabilities to manage and protect technical publications:
- Process and Publish Tech Pubs: Process and build NIVOMAX Libraries containing tech pubs data.
- Secure Tech Pubs: Protect libraries with enterprise-grade encryption to prevent unauthorized access and data repurposing.
- Rights Management: Restrict access to publications based on license holders, ensuring that only authorized users can view the content.
- Self-Managed Services: Provide users with the ability to manage their accounts and subscriptions via the NIVOMAX Self-Serve Portal.
- Comprehensive Viewer App: Available in multiple editions (Web, Desktop, and Network) to meet various user requirements.
- End-to-End Management: Cover the entire lifecycle of technical publications, from publishing to viewing and managing the data.
Access to Pubs
The NIVOMAX Platform is an invite-only system, ensuring that only authorized users gain access. Invitations are sent by either an ePub supplier with whom you have a valid data license or one of your organization’s Data License Administrators.
Before You Can Access Your Pubs
To access your publications, you need the following:
- A single sign-on (SSO) account with your ePub supplier’s organization.
- An invitation email, which you must accept to set up your NIVOMAX account for the ePub supplier’s distribution ID.
- A valid data license purchased from the ePub supplier, assigned to your NIVOMAX user account.
Licensing
End users do not need to purchase a Software License; access is granted through the Software License purchased by your ePub supplier. SYNAXIOM does not distribute the NIVOMAX Viewer applications to end-users; you must get a copy from your ePub supplier, which is linked to their assigned Distribution ID.
End users must however, purchase a valid data license from the ePub supplier to access the data libraries.
