Investment in Quality Pays Huge Dividends
Is your company going global? Already global? Are the costs of translating required documents and website content going ballistic? You’re not alone—the accelerating pace of globalization and the high (and often unbudgeted) cost of translation impacts more companies and their information development operations every day.

Don’t miss Kent’s presentation, Manage Your Messaging with Machine-Assited Editing and Large Scale Sentence-level Reuse, May 7 at Documentation and Training West, Vancouver, BC.
