MAIDENHEAD, England,
Dec. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/
-- SDL (LSE: SDL) the leader in Global Information Management,
today announced that EXFO Inc., a leading provider of test and
service assurance solutions for network operators and equipment
manufacturers in the global telecommunications industry, is working
with SDL to more effectively and efficiently translate content
across its entire supply chain. EXFO will be able to
centralize translation assets and share them in real time resulting
in translation cost, speed and quality improvements.
EXFO has approximately 1800 people in 25 countries, supporting
more than 2000 telecom customers worldwide. To meet the
demands of these customers, EXFO needed to shorten global product
launch cycles of their test and service assurance solutions for
global telecommunications. With R&D and Marketing teams
working separately on translations, using Language Service
Providers and in-house translators, there was a need for a
centralized system to automate manual processes and allow for
translation re-use so they could translate content faster and more
accurately.
To address these translation challenges, EXFO deployed SDL
Trados Studio, SDL TM Server and SDL MultiTerm Server to ensure
high quality content across all languages, provide workflow
and project management control as well as a centralized translation
memory and terminology databases which ensure the quick reuse of
previously translated content.
"EXFO is proud to have chosen SDL for its translation tools.
SDL's expertise and great understanding of our needs truly made a
difference in our day-to-day operations," said Kathleen Cotter, Translation Coordinator at
EXFO. "An innovative company like ours must rely on efficient and
reliable tools to provide our customers with first-class
translation, as fast as possible."
"It is an honor to be recognized as a trusted supplier by EXFO,"
said Tim McManus, Senior Vice
President of products for SDL's Language Technologies Division.
"This exciting opportunity reconfirms our ability to provide a
fantastic service to global brands and we look forward to
continuing to work with EXFO."
