Manufacturer integrates secure On-Premise Machine Translation solution to connect its workforce

Connecting employees across disciplines – and across geographies – is no easy task, especially for a manufacturer of this scale. Its various teams and departments needed access to projects at all hours and the ability to work simultaneously and successively to accommodate the differing time zones.

These cross-functional teams also exchanged millions of emails, chats and data over the course of each day.

The company required a robust and secure solution that could translate the high volume of materials shared between teams into the target languages without compromising sensitive company information. It also required a technology that was sophisticated and flexible enough to seamlessly integrate within its existing framework.

The manufacturer decided to partner with ULG to introduce the machine translation system OctaveMT. In the interest of data security, the application had to be available strictly within its own intranet, which is accessible throughout the company and integrated into internal communication and content authoring tools.

OctaveMT is a lightweight software offering the flexibility the company required. Machine translation was the solution to speed communication and handles the high volume of data while retaining top security.

Additionally, because OctaveMT is a customizable platform, ULG was able to build out terminology banks and company-specific glossaries to ensure that the translation output conveyed accuracy, even if the source materials were laden with corporate jargon.
