TRADOS Language Server for Documentum
Solution Brief
Now
your Documentum system unlocks global markets
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This brief is for managers and executives in multinational enterprises that use (or plan to use)
Documentum ECM software products, need to deliver content to more countries in a larger number of languages, want greater control over localization processes and localized content, and want
to avoid contention problems between multiple content repositories.
First this brief outlines content globalization challenges and their causes. Then it provides an
overview of the chief strategic advantages enterprises gain by using the joint TRADOSDocumentum solution to manage content globalization. These advantages include accelerating
time-to-market by reducing localization times up to 50%, capturing new revenue opportunities,
gaining control of multinational brands, increasing the accuracy and consistency of global
information, reducing content localization costs by 40 to 60%, and strengthening global
customer relationships.
Globalize
the CHALLENGES of content globalization
In our increasingly global economy, companies often
generate forty to sixty percent of their revenue
outside of their home markets. The growing importance of world markets has made the efficient and
rapid globalization of content into THE critical competitive advantage.
The content globalization process raises daunting challenges,
such as delivering content at the same time to global markets,
providing product-related information accurately in local languages, controlling multinational brands, and reducing redundant costs and translations.
The challenges are increased by the fragmented nature of the
globalization supply chain that localizes product-related content for your company. No company is big enough to localize
all its global content in-house. This is why companies send
localization work to outside vendors such as translation
companies, who in turn delegate projects to smaller translation
companies and to freelance translators.
Few other business processes involve such a range of participants, scattered across so many companies and dispersed over
so many countries. When one link in the supply chain fails, all
participants can be disrupted. This causes errors, inconsistent
content, missed deadlines, even delayed product launches.
Now your Documentum system
unlocks global markets
Now, for the first time, TRADOS in partnership with EMC
Documentum provides a way to integrate content globalization
within the Documentum system you already have. The combined solution extends Documentum's already considerable
abilities to store and manage content in all languages.
TRADOS Language Server for Documentum yields faster localization turnaround time, far fewer errors, and translations that
are more consistent. It improves the quality and accelerates the
delivery of multilingual content to global markets without
changing your organization's business infrastructure. TRADOS
Language Server identifies reusable multilingual content in your
Documentum repositories and automatically proposes reuse
suggestions to translators while they translate new content, so
no sentence ever has to be translated twice. This resource is
called translation memory. By reusing previous translations, the
same translated content can be used in many documents. This
accelerates time-to-market up to 50%, and reduces the costs of
multilingual content by an average of 40 to 60%.
The system also performs terminology management to ensure
the accurate and consistent worldwide use of the key words
and phrases that describe your business, your products, and
your markets—so everyone across your company can speak
with one voice, no matter what languages they use.
TRADOS Language Server enables your Documentum system
to retain control of content during the entire localization
process, even when content is sent outside your company to an
external vendor which in turn sends your content to yet another company or to a freelance translator. Because Language
Server maintains the referential integrity of your content before,
during, and after localization, content checked out to be localized can be returned to your Documentum repository, automatically and without disrupting your content or projects.
Residing inside your Documentum environment, and tightly
integrated with the Documentum workflow and repository, the
joint TRADOS-Documentum solution enables your company to
create an efficient global content management system and
have direct, centralized control over your localized assets.
Because your entire content globalization process can be managed within the Documentum ECM platform, your employees
can be immediately productive, localizing content with the
Documentum software they already understand.
Joined together, TRADOS globalization software and the
Documentum Enterprise Content Management platform
enable your company to drive down the costs of content globalization by 40 to 60 percent, while also accelerating your time
to global markets and strengthening your global brands.
