The challenge: translation project management
▪
Optimum processing of projects in information handling requires a reliable and transparent automated workflow solution.
▪
Whether you are dealing with editorial tasks, translation and localisation projects or the management and publication of information, the workflow solution controls, co-ordinates, automates and oversees your work processes.
▪
The technology and system architecture must be carefully chosen so that simple as well as complex workflows can be depicted, automated and modified at any time and can be easily and adaptably linked to other systems.
 

Why automated workflow?

The increasing globalisation of products and product documentation leads to a corresponding increase in the diversity of languages in which product documentation has to be produced.
New markets demand reliable and comprehensible documentation and translations in the appropriate languages – in some markets they even have to meet legal requirements and defined standards.
Project managers are confronted more and more frequently with new tasks for which no suitable solution model yet exists.
The number of projects and the data volume to be handled increase exponentially. On the other hand, however, the projects themselves are becoming smaller and smaller. Innumerable small files are sent back and forth between customers and suppliers.
Consequently, more and more time has to be spent on project management and organisation instead of on the actual job of translating. Ultimately, errors occur and the situation leads to serious capacity shortages.
Automating your translation process and workflow delivers benefits of increased scalability, quality improvements and cost efficiencies. However you also gain the benefit of a consistent process: STAR James™ standardises, simplifies and automates project management.
STAR James™ automates the many tasks in your translation process that it makes sense to automate. Each phase in your process is delivered as a service which makes the system easy to maintain and expand. It delivers immediate benefits today and grows with your enterprise. Manual steps can be implemented as required to match special user requirements. This delivers the flexibility that allows you to optimise your process for maximum results.
