Maximize translation spend and grow your ROI

Kicking off the upcoming webinar season is a session around how to maximize total translation spend. The session (the first of six) is on the 7th July at noon EST.

Too often the first question is “how much per word” when the first questions should be “what do you do to maximize appropriate reuse and improve quality”.  This doesn’t just mean technology, although technology certainly plays a role, it means how do you use the tools available to the greatest possible return on investment.

The webinar will focus on best practices for improving you translation memory leverage, how “active” TM management can make a significant difference and how to calculate the total cost of ownership of your localization practice. The second half will focus on some specific things you can do to improve the value you get for your translation spend. For full details of this session follow this link.
