Home   |   SDL Global Authoring Management

In the Indian context, SDL Global Authoring tools would be extremely useful with respect to large IT, MNCs, banks, insurance companies, LPOs, etc., that have large pools of technical/content writers who create documentation using Microsoft Word and Adobe FrameMaker.

A senior writer can create a style guide for the project, and the Authoring tool can be used to ensure that all junior writers adhere to the style guide. This helps ensure the quality and consistency of documentation and simplifies the senior writer's subsequent review process. The tool can also be used by non-technical writers (project managers, team leaders, content writers, etc.) for the correction of grammatical errors.

SDL Global Authoring Management System is a linguistically intelligent tool that offers global organisations the unique ability to:
  • Adhere to style and linguistic guidelines globally to create clear and unambiguous content.
  • Ensure accurate terminology to deliver content consistency.
  • Reuse previously written content to create content productively and facilitate translation.
By integrating this technology into the content creation and globalisation processes, organisations can:
  • Improve quality and clarity of customer communications and documentation.
  • Achieve time-to-market deadlines.
  • Control translation costs.
