Solutions: for Energy
On-demand subject-matter expertise in any language
Whether you are a manufacturer of agricultural machinery for Laos or construction equipment for China, gas pipelines in Russia or nuclear power stations in Egypt, wind farms in Brazil or water-treatment plants in India, being able to deliver large volumes of accurately-translated, highly-technical documentation in response to tight contractual deadlines is essential. However the modern global manufacturing process is complicated with staff, suppliers, competitors and customers spread worldwide. Integrating documents sourced from a variety of suppliers and departments, and ensuring technically-accurate and clear communications in any language requires a sophisticated system of operation.
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.
Tek solutions improve global communication, automate quality control, and speed your time to market – so your globalization processes can keep pace with your business demands.
Quality defined: technical accuracy and consistency
To meet industry standards and ensure that products are compatible with local market requirements, you need consistent and technically-accurate multilingual communication in every instance across all localized materials, from marketing materials and contractual documentation to technical and training manuals.
All project agents access tools and linguistic assets from one central delivery system, the web-based Tek OneWorld Platform, which incorporates a series of ISO 9000:2001 and EN 15038:2006 approved QA standards specifically designed for the manufacturing industry, including:
- Established workflows for each type of source material designed to get projects jump-started and finished faster.
- Language Quality Inspection Forms, providing data that measures the translation quality achieved, to help avoid language disputes and project delays.
- The TM Warehouse, a central repository of your translation memories that supports content reuse, and from which linguistic asset reports and business intelligence can be drawn.
- The TekTerm terminology management tool ensures that source English terms as well as translated terms are harmonized and used appropriately by all project team members for consistent branding.
Scalable, flexible resources for large projects in any language
For many of our global manufacturing customers, the flexibility and scalability of resources are key. If translating a high volume of content under a short deadline is the norm for your globalization projects then so is the challenge of finding a strong linguistic team with the depth of industry experience, strength in numbers and language expertise you need, when you need it.
Tek provides a scalable, on-demand team of in-country experts so you never have problems meeting deadlines due to poor-quality translations or lack of resources. We ensure that the translations are technically accurate and are done by people with product knowledge and subject expertise.
- Following its 3-Phase Qualification Methodology, Tek selects, tests and trains subject matter experts (SMEs) and linguists, monitoring their performance against pre-agreed key performance indicators (KPIs).
- Vendor management departments are linked via the Tek OneWorld Platform for supplier registration, ranking and performance tracking, with a calendar of availability, ensuring a uniform approach to scaling resources during project peaks.
- All Tek offices recruit skilled resources in their own regions, working to maximize the capacity of preferred partners to avail of high-quality resources when needed, at the most advantageous price.
