Many multinational companies are rapidly expanding their activities in foreign markets. The complexity of processes, document types and translation-related costs are increasing significantly with the growing number of languages, products and versions, faster product updates and rapid website changes.

New technologies integrate translation processes seamlessly across the enterprise and its vendors, enabling companies to manage projects much more efficiently while dramatically improving quality, minimizing costs, and accelerating time-to-market.

Join Across Systems to see firsthand how the Across Language Server addresses these common challenges and helps organizations coordinate complex, multinational product launches in shorter time frames while realizing bottom-line savings.

The Across Language Server offers a way to manage the whole linguistic supply chain from the content creation phase to final correction/DTP (desk top publishing) and connects all members/users seamlessly to create an efficient localization production center. Learn how these innovative features help you to:

1. Create text faster and with greater consistency. The innovative authoring assistant component crossAuthor connects the content creation process in applications you are already using (such as FrameMaker, InDesign, XMetal, Arbortext, and more) in a unique way to the translation and terminology memory. By reusing existing sentences and terms in these databases, the text is created faster with greater consistency. Customers report savings of up to 50% after implementing crossAuthor.
2. Delegate and manage projects seamlessly while sharing resources. Across Systems’ collaboration tool, crossGrid, enables direct interaction between key stakeholders and resources for a project—for example, between a customer’s and a language service provider’s language servers, project managers, and translators and reviewers—enabling the seamless delegation of projects and the shared use of resources. This collaboration solution ensures a continuous supply chain without project disruptions or repetition of work, even over several delegation stages among internal and external stakeholders.
3. Improve language quality and consistency. Across Systems’ built-in quality management tool ensures that company language and terminology is adhered to during the translation phase. Consistent and accurate terminology is especially important for companies in regulated industries for compliance with industry standards. Terminology and translation memories can also be made available online for all departments and subsidiaries to achieve maximum leverage and consistency.
