Managing Your Global Content for Legislation Compliance

In today's economic climate companies are looking at ways to work more efficiently and reduce costs. ButMedical Device manufacturers still need to support their global customers. Having a global customer base, that speaks a range of different languages means that by law companies have to support an ever increasing localisation requirement – putting a greater strain on already stretched resources and shrinking budgets.

International legislation mandates that for Medical Device manufacturers providing a local language version of product documentation is not a ‘nice to have’ - it is mandatory!

This is why leading global companies are turning to Global Information Management (GIM) solutions from SDL to help automate many of the tasks associated with producing multilingual content. SDL Global Information Management technology will integrate with your existing authoring and content management systems to enable you to:

Ensure compliance with international regulations related to local language documentation
Reduce time-to-market for international product launches
Provide global customers with local language versions of product documentation
Improve the consistency and quality of documentation irrespective of language
Reduce the time and effort needed to complete the production of multilingual documentation
Dramatically reduce translation costs through the increased reuse of translated content
Improve customer satisfaction, loyalty and retention
