Now that translates into ROI in any language. Brilliant! FREE Demo! “Content Management and Translation”

Register now at www.lionbridge.com/demo

How one company scored new revenues with its global content system

Launching a major new product

holds immense promise — and

risk. One industry leader set out

to meet this challenge by educating

its professional and consumer mar-

kets six months before the product

shipped. As the product moved

from research, through market tri-

als to general release, key content

assets had to be created, approved,

translated, and published. Training

materials for professionals, lifestyle-

oriented content for consumers,

marketing collateral, product label-

ing were needed on three continents

in half a dozen languages.

That’s where Lionbridge came in. Working directly with the systems integrator, Lionbridge designed a data object model to support global content relation-ships. Multilingual workflows were added allowing in-country managers to approve translations. Best of all, off-site translation work could now be controlled seamlessly using the existing, in-house enterprise content manage-ment system.

The result? Accelerated global market adoption. Rapid recovery of R&D costs. Increased profit.
