Work processes are becoming more and more complex in the translation and documentation business. Besides them involving a host of participants, the use of an increasing number of translatable file formats and appropriate tools is also creating a growing challenge.
The cheapest tool is not necessarily the one best suited to your processes and data. No decision about tools should be taken without involving everyone concerned with the process first and checking whether the tools are compatible with internal processes.
The vast number of possible tools that currently exist on the market is often overwhelming for individuals. Concentrating on parts of the field and working in a team will give you an idea of the whole picture and turn a chaotic impression into an orderly one.
Many of our customers rely on our sound judgement in areas like consulting, support and custom development. Because our experience is the best prerequisite for finding an optimum solution for your particular issues – together with you.

Ultimately, it’s people who are at the heart of everything. Internal and external parties who play a role in the process chain must be involved and their knowledge needs to be stored for use.
A process can only be optimized if the various steps it entails are defined and are subject to continuous re-evaluation.
A great number of tools are now available. Which one to pick and deploy depends on various factors. Interfaces are another important topic, too.
