The need to provide consistent corporate communications, no matter which market they address, nor in which language they communicate is paramount for global organizations. To be successful a translation strategy must integrate global information assets into the content creation process to improve the consistency and quality of global communications.

SDL Global Authoring Management System™ (SDL Global AMS™) helps companies improve brand consistency, increase the efficiency of the global authoring process and reduce time-to-market for global content. Through a centralized system which checks against corporate assets, it enables enterprise-wide consistency of terminology, style and linguistic best practices, as well as ensuring the reuse of previously written and translated content.
