As part of the harmonisation project at W.L. Gore & Associates, we set about globally centralising translation management and the corresponding language resources. With more than 10,000 employees and sites all over the world this was no simple task, but thanks to Loctimize we were able to meet the challenge. We now work with the software solution which best meets our requirements.
Loctimize guided us through the entire process. With their help, we have gained a better understanding of the world of translation. They listened to us, took our needs on board and analysed our processes. They understood our very complex requirements when it came to the interaction between editing, translating, reviewing and foreign-language type-setting and the integration of Web-CMS, and offered us possible solutions. Not until we had taken these steps did we understand how technology could support our work and therefore also save us a lot of time and money.
What we particularly appreciated about Loctimize was that they catered to our specific needs and we had a well organised and structured team by our side, who fully supported us with this task.

Without the professional support of Daniel Zielinski and his team, choosing the right translation management system would have been much more difficult for our company. But thanks to the competent and reliable advice we received, we were able to make the right decision for us. Thank you again for your support!
