Gatineau, Québec, Canada, June 15, 2007 – MultiCorpora, a leading provider of multilingual asset management solutions, and Plunet, a leading provider of Translation Business and Workflow Management software for the translation and documentation industry, announce a strategic alliance which sees them integrate their core platforms to deliver a comprehensive Workflow and Globalization Management System designed specifically for language service providers (LSPs), governments and global corporations. This new offering combines the strengths of MultiTrans’ unique TextBase TM multilingual asset management solution with those of Plunet BusinessManager.
The MultiTrans 4.2 solution introduces unparalleled efficiencies by putting LSPs, language professionals and global corporations in full control of their translation requests and deliveries. “We are delighted to partner with Plunet to combine our international business acumen to deliver a real benefit to our customers. MultiTrans 4.2, integrated with Plunet BusinessManager’s workflow management system, redefines workflow automation from the moment that a translation request is made, to the automated content analysis and routing (which is dependent on MultiTrans’ analysis results), through to the automated pre-treatment”, says Pierre Blais, President and CEO of MultiCorpora. “There’s never been a better time for the industry to embrace technology by leveraging the efficiencies of our offering.”
“Our partnership with MultiCorpora responds to the industry’s evolutionary needs. Combining MultiTrans’ Unique TextBase TM approach with Plunet BusinessManager’s workflow management features will further enable agencies, both small and large, and language departments within corporations or institutions to significantly improve their end-to-end processes, improve the quality of their in-house and outsourced translations, reduce turnaround and better control costs. ”The level of integration between the two solutions makes it a model for productivity gains, says Stefan Dümig founder and CEO of Plunet GmbH.
