Idiom Technologies and Vasont Systems Deliver Best-of-Breed
Global Content Management Solution
Integrated content management and globalization
management platform speeds multilingual content delivery
EMIGSVILLE, PA, May 19, 2008 – Defining the future
of multilingual communication and dynamic product documentation,
Idiom® Technologies, Inc. and Vasont Systems today announced
a joint integration and marketing agreement that enables customers
to assemble a best-of-breed solution for automated global
content management.
Under the deal, the companies will integrate the Vasont®
content management system (CMS) for multi-channel publishing
with the market-leading Idiom® WorldServer™ globalization
management system (GMS). The combined solution provides a
unified platform that significantly streamlines content creation,
translation, review and publishing with reusable, structured
and unstructured content components.
Said Idiom Technologies president, Mike Iacobucci: “The
Idiom partnership strategy is focused on delivering customers
the ultimate in freedom of choice. Through our new alliance
with Vasont, customers will enjoy even greater flexibility
and performance advantages as they look for ways to optimize
existing systems, resources, processes and industry best practices.”
By integrating content management and translation management
workflows, the combined Vasont and WorldServer solution simplifies
collaboration between contributors that create, edit, review
and translate content for any number of languages and delivery
formats. As a result, firms can more easily enforce global
standards for information quality and consistency across collaborators
that play diverse roles in different geographic locations
– both within and outside the enterprise. They also
reduce the time it takes to complete translations for multiple
global markets, simultaneously. Ultimately, these advantages
speed time to market and improve global brand consistency,
enabling firms to achieve more competitive global revenue
objectives.
“Idiom and Vasont Systems share a vision of providing
the best content management and translation management solutions
possible,” said Richard Schiding, Vasont Systems’
president. “Our collaboration will ultimately provide
us with valuable opportunities to meet the challenges of our
prospective customers.”
