Homag Group cuts translation time and increases translation quality with GIM

How Homag Group improved quality and consistency of translated content while eliminating inefficiencies and reducing time-to-market

Homag Group is delighted with the improvements in process management and translation quality resulting from the relationship with SDL. SDLWorkFlow gives us the visibility and control we need to reduce the time-to-market for product documentation, and the re-use of existing translation assets across product lines has lowered our costs while improving the consistency of translations.

With market leading products sold worldwide and manufactured using just-in-time (JIT) production methods, Homag Group needs timely production of high quality documentation for every product and every country it supports. By working with SDL technologies and services for documentation translation, Homag Group has been able to improve quality and consistency of translated content while eliminating inefficiencies and reducing time-to-market.
