Enabling Asset Management

Asset management is a critical component of our service. The main purpose of asset management is to protect the client’s investment and leverage these assets for follow-up and future/new projects.

Besides the actual project deliverables, we consider enabling assets to be all supplemental assets that affect the quality and production of deliverables, for example:

• Style guides (e.g., formatting and language conventions)

• Glossaries

• Translation memories

• Work instructions (incl. workflows)

• QA checklists

We make sure that translation memories and glossaries are up-to-date and maintained properly and supplied to all affected resources. Likewise, we prepare style guides and process documentation as necessary to allow consistent and repeatable practices for each project and client. All project items are version-controlled as they progress through production stages to maintain clear oversight and traceability for each activity.

The benefits of proper asset management are economies of scale, improved time to market, cost-effectiveness, reduced process variance, and higher service quality.
