btCloud TM Share

btCloud TM Share is offered as an integrated module of the btCloud platform.

Having the ability to maintain translation memories (TMs) in a centralized repository and share them across language service providers (LSPs) is a significant challenge for clients who utilize more than one LSP.

Although clients have long recognized the investment value of TMs and the cost as well as time savings they represent, enabling all LSPs to access and leverage existing TMs is not only empowering to a client, but also to each LSP who serves the same client. Fortunately, this is no longer an issue with btCloud TM Share solution.

Because TM Share is integrated into the btCloud platform, it employs the same streamlined, secure Web-based work environment. btCloud TM Share also provides the flexibility to manage access rights based on user type (e.g., client user vs. LSP user) to ensure that only authorized information and features can be accessed.

Key Benefits

The main benefits of TM Share are:

• Provides one centralized, scalable storage repository for all translation memories regardless of originator

• Enables audit trails for quality assurance purposes by uniquely identifying translation assets and their originators

• Uses a self-managed approach, which eliminates the need for a client’s involvement in the TM sharing (no additional oversight required)

• Eliminates capital investments and the need for client-supplied equipment through a hosted service

• Support of all language combinations

• Scalable storage capacity to grow with client needs

• Reporting capabilities to provide insights into TM leveraging (usage), cost savings, and more
