Just-in-time manufacturing of medical devices is not always accompanied by just-in-time production of product and service information. A delay in the delivery of localized documentation can hold up regulatory approval and slow down the time-to-revenue.

At SDL, we have helped many of the world's largest medical devices manufacturers to accelerate time-to-market by providing them with software and services to manage the delivery of all corporate information into different languages. Our experience spans a broad range of challenges, including: 

• Ensuring compliance with local legal requirements for product labeling and documentation

• Delivering relevant and consistent communications to global markets

• Reducing the overheads and inefficiencies of decentralized processes for multilingual delivery

• Managing the translation of large volumes of complex documentation

• Providing visibility and control to localization processes

• Enabling efficient localization of electronic user interfaces with local language preview functionalities

• Shortening translation turnaround times for web-based service information  

SDL's localization experts can help you determine and execute the right combination of process, technology and services for your specific needs, enabling:  

• Integration of localization processes and technologies with your PDM, CMS, CRM and ERP systems, reducing production cycle times and risk of error
• Leverage of SDL's worldwide network of in-country offices ensuring accurate local market knowledge is applied effectively to localization processes
• Integration of your own in-country resources into review processes creating highly effective workflows that facilitate accurate reviews with low overheads
• Intelligent use of automated translation combined with human translators to cut translation times in half

SDL works with you to enable you to launch medical devices effectively into international markets quickly, and with reduced risk and cost. At the same time, SDL helps ensure your brand is communicated with relevance and consistency worldwide.
