Meeting over fist bumps

Rethink transformation

Breaking down complex globalization processes and redesigning them to bring more value than ever before.

We believe a good globalization strategy is vital for successful international business relations. It requires a comprehensive framework that defines how different types of content are handled during localization. It defines your target languages, whether you create unique content for specific markets or translate existing content and which aspects will be machine translated, post-edited, translated by humans or transcreated. A solid globalization strategy reduces costs, saves time and improves customer experiences and leads to increased efficiency and more profitable operations overall.

  • Phase 1: Analyze existing process

    We study your processes and identify areas of improvement. Our experts highlight deficiencies and explain shortcomings in a lucid way. Together with you, we thoroughly discuss how to retain compatibility with internal systems. We also identify process risks and build up safeguards against them.

  • Phase 2: Design future process

    We formulate a ‘to be’ process, eliminating operational inefficiencies and planning for risk mitigation. Next, we re-design the localization process, defining and mapping the dataflow for each type of content. The feasibility of implementing the new process is discussed with stakeholders.

  • Phase 3: Implement and improve

    Detailed migration and implementation plans enable a successful transition to state-of-the-art translation and localization processes. Appropriate education and training modules help your employees own the transition, while our team catalyzes the processes and supports you as your implementation partner.
