Across and Plunet Cooperate
Especially Language Service Providers Benefit from Interface between Language Server and BusinessManager
BERLIN, Germany – June 16, 2008 - During the Localization World Conference in Berlin, Across Systems and Plunet presented a sophisticated interface between the two companies' flagship systems that further simplifies professional translation management and its administrative aspects. Plunet has developed that interface, based on a strategic and technologic cooperation with Across.
The Across Language Server includes a translation memory and a terminology system as well as tools for project management and workflow control. As an end-to-end solution, it is optimized to meet the demands of companies working in collaboration with language service providers, thus enabling a seamless linguistic supply chain.
Plunet BusinessManager is specifically configured to meet the demands of language service providers and enables automated processing and management of entire organizational activities and processes within the scope of translation projects. The Plunet BusinessManager standard package highlights offer, order and invoice management, including financial reports, flexible job and workflow management as well as deadline, document and partner management. Easy adaptation of the system to customer-specific workflows is one of the most remarkable features of BusinessManager.
"The Across Language Server excels though open interfaces," explains Niko Henschen, CEO of Across Systems. "We are happy that Plunet, as the leading business management solution for the translation and documentation sector, uses these interfaces, reinforcing our position as the central platform for corporate language resources and translation processes."
Especially for language service providers, the direct connection of both products provides an optimized solution for controlling and processing of translation projects, seamless collaboration with customers and subcontractors, as well as comprehensive administrative business organization. For example, after processing a translation job with the Across Language Server, statistics are read into Plunet BusinessManager and linked to the information on activity units and pricing information stored there. Automatic price calculation and charges are thus always available with a mouse click. The sophisticated interface for the Across Language Server is now available as an extension for all editions of Plunet BusinessManager.
"The Across Language Server is the base technology for seamless translation processes and collaboration between those who provide or commission professional translations. With our interface, language service providers can enjoy seamless and customizable workflows. Business and translation management are integrated on a common platform. As a result, we maximize efficiency through intelligent automation that, in addition, has a positive effect on the quality of the translation process," emphasizes Plunet founder and CEO Stefan Dümig.
