Accelerating delivery of multilingual software and complex, technical documentation

SDL has a substantial number of high profile clients within this market and a wide range of experience providing localization solutions over many years.



Operating Systems, Firmware, CRM applications, ERP systems, Booking Software, Databases, Games.   Whatever a product might be, for each step in the software engineering process (design, development, documentation, manufacturing, QA testing, and customer support), engineering teams create large quantities of essential information.

Striving to improve the customer experience and building strong brand loyalty is a constant challenge in the highly competitive IT industry. With product differentiation increasingly harder to achieve, the key to customer loyalty is to increase value and personalization with the best possible customer interactions in their native language. Yet this can be enormously complex and costly to manage.

Until now.
