FREE WEBINAR: How to initiate a localization project using TMS
(Translation Management Systems)

Translation Management Systems (TMS) are making inroads to
enhance localization processes, communications and meeting
requirements. A must attend session if you're involved in
localization and don't know what TMS is.

We will discuss how companies use TMS in localization
activities covering the following three areas with extensive
details:
1. Project Management Processes begin with project
requirement definition down to each and every detailed task.
TMS allows customization of the process and tasks and ensures
that tasks are properly communicated, tracked and updated.
2. Communication with stake-holders is made easy when all
parties have access to the plan's details and know what tasks
are assigned to them and when. Collaboration online is much
easier with TMS than with an ad-hoc process.
3. Having transparent access to the project details and
status in TMS enables full and up-to-date understanding of
where the localization project is and facilitates decision
making throughout the project. The localization
process will no longer be a black-box where only the few
privileged have visibility and control over the end-result in
terms of quality, cost and schedule.

Key learning objectives
1. Learn what TMS is
2. Learn how TMS can be easily and effectively used in
localization projects
3. Brush up on the latest localization process steps and
requirements

Intended audience
All technical communicators and managers involved in
localization activities
