挑战
B2B brands face the challenge of localizing digital content to deliver native brand experiences across all markets. They need a translation solution that can manage the volume of content requiring localization, including web-based content, mobile applications, and technical documentation. Additionally, the solution must integrate easily within their existing technology infrastructure. One of the world's largest enterprise business software companies was using outdated software for translation, which required a lot of manual work and was extremely inefficient. The connector to its content management system was unreliable, leading to untranslated pages on the company's websites. With the end of its existing translation software licensing agreement approaching, the company knew it was time to upgrade to a new translation technology platform that was more efficient and could scale with the business' ongoing translation and localization needs.
关于客户
The customer is one of the world's largest enterprise business software companies. As a leading B2B technology brand, the company has a global presence and a diverse audience. It manages a high volume of content that requires translation and localization, including web-based content, mobile applications, and technical documentation. The company aims to enhance productivity while maximizing resources, and it seeks to eliminate unproductive, manual processes that waste employees' time and cost extra money. The company is focused on automation and efficiency, and it needs a translation solution that can seamlessly integrate with its existing technology infrastructure and support its ongoing translation and localization needs.
解决方案
The company leveraged Smartling's Translation Management System, Adobe Experience Manager connector, and API to address its translation and localization needs. The new platform eliminated manual file handling and conversions, reliably connected to the content management system, and improved the content review process. The solution also offered options for integration with the company's internal systems and an enterprise-grade machine translation provider in the future. By using Smartling's platform, the company was able to translate 600,000 words per month in over 40 languages and complete nearly 1,000 translation projects per year. The platform supports 800 users, and in the first year of collaboration with Smartling, the company saw an increase in the total number of words translated from 6 million to 7 million without the need to hire additional employees.

Darwin Ecosystem: Accelerating discovery and insight through cutting-edge big data and cognitive technologies
Darwin Ecosystem was founded with a unique vision of harnessing chaos theory mathematics to uncover previously hidden connections in unstructured data. The company’s algorithms can look at all the data generated by any source (such as news, RSS feeds and Twitter), and analyze how a specific set of concepts within that data are evolving over time. This is particularly valuable in situations such as business and competitive intelligence, social research, brand monitoring, legal discovery, risk mitigation and even law enforcement. A common problem in these areas is that a regular web search will only turn up the all-time most popular answers to a given question – but what the expert researcher is actually interested in is the moment-tomoment evolution of the data available on that topic. Darwin’s algorithm is computationally intensive, and the sources of data it correlates can be vast. To bring its benefits to a larger commercial audience, Darwin needed to find a way to make it scale.

Delivering modern data protection with cloud scale backup from Cobalt Iron and IBM
Organizations are struggling to modernize their legacy data protection environments in the face of growing demands around new infrastructure, new applications, and budget consolidation. Virtualization and modern application development processes have significantly outgrown legacy backup architectures. In response, infrastructure teams have created multiple backup solution types to handle the varying SLAs (performance, scale, cost) required by their business sponsors. However, the sheer number and variety of solutions in this uncontrolled expansion creates huge amounts of work, threatening to overwhelm the IT team in many organizations. Today, developers may add new applications and virtual server instances by the hundreds per day without accounting for the restrictions of the existing backup infrastructure. They leverage the cloud for immediate compute and storage resources, yet rarely communicate succinctly with corporate IT to ensure that the appropriate data protection services are in place.
