Despite the technological advances of recent years, too many localization tasks are still performed by human beings. Many Globalization Management Systems have attempted to address this situation but have not delivered the promised ROI because of high implementation costs, lack of integration and poor levels of automation. Newer Translation Management Systems overcome these shortcomings and eliminate unnecessary human intervention to save significant time and money without sacrificing quality.

This white paper describes a typical Translation Management System implementation and demonstrates how the most important localization cost factors can be reduced by automation. Examining current localization processes, the author leads you through the steps required to build a compelling business case: quantifying realistic cost savings, estimating plausible implementation costs and developing achievable return on investment (ROI) scenarios. Apply these tools and strategies to your own company, and explore how much you can benefit from implementing a Translation Management System.
