The Holy Trifecta of Global Content Success

The Holy Trifecta of Content is the intersection of managed terminology, structured authoring, and translation memory. If you have these three components of content under control, your content will be easier to read in every language, easier to translate, easier to locate, and easier to create. Join me, Scott Abel, The Content Wrangler, for this presentation with Val Swisher, CEO of Content Rules. Val will focus on the Holy Trifecta of Global Content Success, how the components work together, and why they are critical factors for successful global content. You’ll leave with an understanding of how terminology, structure, and translation memory work and how paying attention to all three factors will help your customers provide better content in any language.
