I'm trying to understand what it means to langfristig aufbau my documentation. I think I can ignore the "angelegten" part.

permanent establishment of your documentation
You may be able to use permanent instead of long-term. And I think "Aufbau" is more than just organization.

: I'm not entirely sure about "establishment", but permanent would seem to make sense here. Maybe something along the lines of "setting up" or "development" as Sara suggests

Setup maybe? Although there are a lot of hits for establishing documentation

longtime development of documentation
Yeah, ignore the "angelegten", because that's what you have. The previous suggestions are probably correct, languagewise, but I still think this is what they mean.
Peer comment(s):
| agree |
Ulrike Lieder (X)
: maybe long-term rather than longtime?

...the time-consuming work on/or completion of your documentary/or documentation
I rebuilt the sentence a little to make it sound a little more elegant.
Good luck, RF

Ulrike Lieder (X)
: I think you're on the wrong track here - "langfristig angelegt" has nothing to do with being time-consuming (which would be zeitaufwendig bzw. zeitaufwändig lt. NDR)

sustainable documentation
Just another suggestion: could you somehow rephrase and work "sustainable" into it? E.g. "solutions for creating sustainable documentation in all languages and formats..." or similar.
I think this phrase would work well with the marketing nature of your text.
See e.g. http://www.writeimageinc.com/solutions.html
"Our job is to provide a dependable quality communication service for *** sustainable documentation *** once the project ends."
(similar tone as in your text)
http://www.sword-dds.com/services_consultingsolutions.htm
"SWORD DDS recognised the benefits of utilising OnDemand to provide an efficient and *** sustainable documentation approach. *** "
