Release of [i]-flow 2.0 at the Annual tekom Conference 2007 in Wiesbaden

itl is introducing the new version of [i]-flow at the Annual tekom Conference in Wiesbaden. This updated solution can be used to automate major routine tasks in translation project processing. This makes translations significantly more effective and processing less expensive.

Today, customer literature such as catalogs, manuals, and also software products, is being increasingly translated in an increasing number of languages as a result of globalization. The numerous possibilities for generating information lead to an ever growing variety of versions when processing translation projects. At the same time, the translation volume is reduced through the long-term utilization of Translation Memory Systems. Conversely, the administrative effort for managing translation projects is increasing continuously.

The effort for data management is particularly time-intensive for translation projects. Project managers are less and less able to focus on the actual core business. Its work process is often marked by monotone and repetitive small work steps. In the end, the increased project management expenditure leads to increasing costs, tight deadlines, and lack of personnel.

The itl [i]-flow solution relieves and supports project managers in accomplishing projects for translation jobs in across by automatically processing repetitive work steps.

[i]-flow directs the translation process with across according to individual requirements and factors within a company. Configurable workflows are used to store all process parameters, such as contacts, languages to be translated, specialized areas, persons responsible for the project or responsible translators. The selection of the workflow at the beginning of the order is used to automatically take all base requirements into consideration and handle the process accordingly.

• [i]-flow reliably assumes work steps that are constantly repeated within a translation project 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
• [i]-flow automatically generates and distributes all order correspondence through integrated interfaces to internal corporate e-mail systems.
• [i]-flow is marked by an open interface concept. Worldwide web portals enable simple and transparent order generation and tracking.

Company-internal applications for creating information such as CMS can be linked seamlessly to a downstream translation workflow via [i]-flow.
