Benefits of common terminology
- Coherent internal and external communications. Get the same message across in all languages and cultures
- Less time and money spent on translation and localization
- Use of validated terms in customer-specific language training courses or eLearning modules (ie. Induction training)
- Products and associated documentation are brought faster to market
- Easy-to-use web-based tools available to all employees and chosen partners/vendors. Supports user friendliness and user acceptance of terminology and documentation
Terminology management
Often, the need for common and unified terminology is acknowledged, but not prioritized.
Why is that?
- Terminology collection, providing language equivalents and term data maintenance are time consuming
- Usually nobody is appointed to the task
-> terminology work just doesn't get done!

How to access terms
Typical situation: usually there isn’t one single access point for terms but rather a multitude of separate tools, term lists and files in different locations and not commonly available.
