Consistent and high-quality content is fundamental in protecting the image of the corporate brand. And yet, ensuring consistency and quality across source content is a challenge faced by many organizations today, impacting customer satisfaction and brand consistency.

Global organizations need to provide consistent corporate communications, across all the markets and languages they address. A global authoring strategy must integrate centralized global information assets into the content creation process, to improve the consistency and quality of communications for international markets.

SDL Global Authoring Management System™ (SDL Global AMS™) helps companies improve brand consistency, increase the efficiency of the global authoring process and reduce time-to-market for global content. Through a centralized system which checks against corporate assets, it enables enterprise-wide consistency of terminology, style and linguistic best practices, as well as ensuring the reuse of previously written and translated content.
