SDLX Saves Time and Costs for SAP Partner

SDL International (London Stock Exchange: 'SDL'), one of the world's leading providers of Multilingual Content Management products and Globalization solutions, has announced a major ERP customer using SDLX® to save time and costs on high volumes of document translation.

  Heiler Software AG is a leading provider of electronic catalog management systems and content services for e-procurement in SAP environments. Solutions from Heiler simplify and accelerate the entire range of procurement processes for buyers, merchants and manufacturers alike. The catalog system from Heiler targets the environment surrounding SAP's Business-to-Business Procurement and Enterprise Buyer systems, as well as marketplaces from Commerce One.

DaimlerChrysler AG, EnBW, RWE Systems AG, Benteler AG, VA Tech WABAG and DEA Mineraloel AG are just some of the customers who have successfully deployed the SAP-accredited Heiler Premium Business Catalog.

Serving large-scale multi-nationals with its products, translation into various foreign languages is therefore of paramount importance so 'Translation Memory' ('TM') was seen as a clear way forward.

Following extensive product comparisons and exhaustive engineering, Heiler decided that SDL's TM system - "SDLX" - was the preferred choice. Professional and user-friendly it decisively simplified the translation work on Heiler's web application.

Natascha Schwagerus, Dipl. Kommunikationswirtin, Produktentwicklung at Heiler said: "The tool even successfully extracts text to be translated from nested source code, where other applications have failed. Because of the clear presentation of these code segments and the facility of saving them to a memory, easy implementation of later updates is assured."
