Across Language Server – Secure TMS for Professionals, by Christian Weih

Companies implement Translation Management Systems (TMS) to save money and automate translation processes. In translation supply chains, however, fragmentation rules and a lot of participants are involved. Language service providers delegate tasks to other language service providers, quite often various tiers are involved before a freelancer starts doing the translation. Everybody uses the tool(s) of their choice with different features and software release levels. Most TMS disregard these challenges. All external process participants receive some standardized open exchange format, which allows for uncontrolled manipulation of data, thereby violating all norms and standards with regard to data security and compliance regulations. Tremendous efforts have to be put into automation, quality assurance and statistics. Across Language Server is the only TMS that per default rids companies of all these problems, making data secure throughout supply chains, ensuring quality at every level and giving unsurpassed statistics on the translation process.

Christian Weih studied English literature and linguistics at the University of Mannheim, Germany. As Chief Sales Officer at Across Systems, he provides customers with advice on language technology, translation workflows, and integrated solutions, e.g. for translation-oriented authoring.
