Connector Framework and
Multi-Vendor Selection allow organizations to connect
third party apps to translation projects, and manage projects from
multiple vendors
SDL (LSE:SDL) today launched two new features in SDL Managed
Translation, allowing companies to easily connect to third party
applications and better manage their translation projects.
SDL's new Connector Framework provides access and connects to
third party platforms and applications, including Microsoft
OneDrive, Microsoft SharePoint, Google Drive, Box, Zendesk, and
more. Organizations have the option of using SDL's out-of-the-box
connectors, or they can develop their own using SDL Managed
Translation APIs to connect with third party platforms.
These connectors make the translation process easier by reducing
the manual effort needed to attach content or upload translated
content to and from third party applications, such as a document
repository or content management system.
Rather than waste time gathering quotes from multiple vendors,
the new Multi-Vendor Selection feature lets individuals and teams
create translation projects and then receive quotes from their
organization's approved vendors. They can then accept the quote
from their vendor of choice and review the final deliverables in
SDL Managed Translation, regardless of the chosen vendor. Teams can
also view and manage all projects, across all vendors, within a
single online dashboard.
SDL Managed Translation has demonstrated significant growth
year-on-year with a 300 percent increase in services provided in
2016. An online service, SDL Managed Translation allows users to
create and manage translation projects from a single dashboard,
providing easy and affordable access to SDL's 15,000 plus
translators, project managers and world-leading technology.
"In today's competitive business environment, customers are
constantly looking for ways to streamline the translation process
and improve the TCO of going global with their products," said
Jim Saunders, Chief Product Officer,
SDL. "We're responding to this demand by making it significantly
easier for our customers to connect SDL Managed Translation with a
host of best-of-breed third party apps and platforms. We are
delivering a cloud based localization platform with quick,
innovative translation solutions, with sophisticated multi-vendor
management - all from within a single intuitive dashboard."
