Localization and DTP throughput for large-scale projects taken to new level
Wednesday, August 1, 2001
Rubric, a leading localization services provider to Information Technology (IT) companies, has taken localization and DTP throughput to a new level. Processing large-scale projects with extremely tight time-to-market demands, Rubric has excelled at developing highly efficient project plans, executing on those plans, maintaining high quality, and meeting extremely challenging target ship dates.
An example of this includes a 2.5 million word localization project that was completed in under 4 months. To accomplish this, Rubric employed a modular approach to the project, working on multiple components in parallel while integrating QA into every facet of the project from start to finish. Particularly of note was Rubric's DTP throughput on the project. Rubric localized in excess of 6,000 pages and thousands of HTML files. The localization manager at the client company remarked that it was the best run localization project that she had witnessed during her career.
For another customer Rubric has been localizing more than 30,000 pages annually into both electronic and hard copy format. This localization effort has involved 18 target languages, including bi-directional languages such as Arabic and Hebrew. The flow has been nonstop, and time-to-market accomplishments have been unparalleled. Rubric has been localizing for this customer for more than 7 years and has not missed a deadline.
For another customer localization covered in excess of 1 million words going into Japanese in the most recent year with highly aggressive incremental deadlines. Rubric has been working with this customer for 4 years and has met every deadline along the way.
In order to accomplish such a high level of localization throughput, Rubric has concentrated on building its capacity through the years to handle large-scale volumes with rapid turnarounds. Concurrently with this effort, Rubric has focused on efficiency and productivity gains with each expansion of capacity.
