Webinar description
Balancing low cost, fast turnaround, and high quality output for localization is always a challenge, even more so in today’s economic climate. A well executed "handoff" is crucial to a successful localization project, both in quality and budget, and carries the same consequences as companies sprint to maintain global market leadership. With tool automation advancements such as Content Management Systems (CMS) and Globalization Management Systems (GMS), the localization industry is in a better place to achieve the ‘faster, better, cheaper’ goal, but it does come with some caveats.
Localization expert Yusuke Kirimoto, ENLASO’s Operations Manager, explores high level best practices that can be incorporated into handoff processes to reduce project costs and time-to-market, while strengthening product quality and customer/vendor relations. Using a real customer case study with dynamic examples, Kirimoto discusses:
- The importance of “Project Handoffs”
- How to accurately define project scopes
- How to establish project expectations and processes
- Translation and localization receivables and deliverables
- CMS/GMS localization processes − Pros and Cons
- Customer/Vendor communication best practices
This educational Webinar targets customer-side localization and translation professionals who would like to gain insights on how to effectively manage the localization project handoff process.
