SDL TeamWorks

SDL TeamWorks is a Global Information Management solution that optimizes processes for every participant in your localization supply chain, from content authors, project managers, translators, to QA and reviewers.  SDL TeamWorks is a collaborative workflow solution which helps overcome content delivery challenges for localization departments, and translation companies.

SDL TeamWorks includes SDL Trados translation memory, which builds a linguistic knowledgebase of translations from across your company, and identifies reusable content. It also performs terminology management, to control the accuracy and consistency of multinational brands. The system automates recurring processes and tasks. It performs quality assurance on every project, catching errors and identifying inconsistencies.

Project administration capabilities give managers visibility into and control across all processes and projects. Real-time reports enable executives to see operational contributions of globalization initiatives toward business objectives.

SDL TeamWorks empowers organizations to efficiently manage the entire localization process, supporting all the key steps from creation to delivery, while having the ability to closely oversee critical tasks to assure high quality output at the lowest possible cost.

• Create - Automated and comprehensive set-up routines enable easy creation of localization projects and optimal matching of available resources to projects.
• Translate - Fully integrated translator productivity tools work with central translation memory to give dramatic cost savings from translation re-use and increased translator productivity.
• Deliver - Built-in quality assurance and automated hand-offs mean reduced error rates and gains in project time and cost performance.
• Manage - Specialized localization project management means hands-on control of the complexity of data, projects, tasks and people involved in the process.
