Solutions: for Manufacturing
Meet the demands of global manufacturing with more efficient globalization processes
For manufacturers of everything from agricultural machinery to construction equipment, electronic devices to transportation and metalworking to plastics and textiles, globalized operations, just-in-time production and shrinking product lifespans make efficient project management more critical than ever.
To meet these complex global demands, Tek is organized into specialized Vertical Business Units, so that each customer is served by knowledgeable project managers, linguists and industry specific workflows and Quality Assurance (QA)methods. These units reduce set-up time, cut down on errors and streamline processes so you can release high-quality translated products to market faster than your competitors.
Business value defined: optimal processes achieve globalization goals
Many of our manufacturing customers are discovering new ways to operate more efficiently, get rid of redundancy and to better use process and technology to innovate and improve collaboration and productivity worldwide. Time-to-market is essential in the face of growing competition, yet the globalization of manufacturing is making the process more complex. In order to increase productivity and reduce cost, a measure of business value must be gained from every process that your product undergoes on its way to market.
By streamlining and optimizing globalization processes through its Solutions Development Services, Tek can help customers to generate a higher ROI and provide a competitive edge. Services include:
- Process Optimization and Localization Supply Chain Audits carried out by specialist solutions development managers to streamline process and meet business goals.
- Expert advice on technical writing for localization to maximize source and translated content reuse.
- Enterprise Terminology Management (ETM) for brand consistency worldwide.
- Migration of source content supplied in diverse formats from various departments or suppliers to create one coherent set of documentation.
Maximize efficiency: integrate source creation and the translation process
Today’s complex industrial installations and manufacturing equipment typically involve multiple suppliers. Your localization projects can quickly become compromised by difficult source documentation of varying quality delivered in diverse formats from different external suppliers and internal departments. The same content is often translated repeatedly and inconsistently, increasing time and cost unnecessarily.
An experienced partner with industry-specific expertise, integrated development and localization capabilities, and a global scale can help lower the cost and time requirements of your localization projects. The Tek Quality@Source Solution does this by streamlining your source creation and localization processes:
- Start well to finish well. A content audit examines your source creation process and how the content can be localized for technical, format and branding consistency. We provide recommendations and training to assist in improving the quality of source content creation to save cost and time during the localization process.
- Maximize language reuse. By evaluating your linguistic assets such as translation memories, glossaries, style guides, reference material and localization kits Tek Language Quality Audits ensure high- quality translations and high ROI.
- Maximize content reuse. Tek works with you to integrate your content management system (CMS) or source content creation process with the localization (L10N) process. The result maximizes content reuse in both source and translated versions for cost savings, faster updates and quicker time to market.
