White paper examines the benefits and drawbacks of various localization business models
Wednesday, August 28, 2002
With challenging economic times demanding that companies maximize the return on investment (ROI) of their international efforts, Rubric has announced the availability of its newly released white paper Assessing the Business Case for Outsourced Localization Services. The publication is being offered free of charge to companies as a resource for the development of an effective localization business model. The white paper examines the benefits and drawbacks of the following three approaches to localization: in-house translation, distributor-managed and outsourced to a localization services provider.
Each approach to localization offers distinct value and risks. The appropriateness of the model is often not understood fully when a company is faced with the need to make the decision quickly. Factors that determine which approach is most effective include a company's size and resources; localization experience; the importance of risk management priorities; and the relative importance of a given target market. With localization there is no one-size-fits-all solution, and Assessing the Business Case for Outsourced Localization Services explains the appropriateness of each localization business model for different business conditions.
The Rubric white paper is one among a library of globalization resources in Rubric's Solutions Center within the Rubric Web site. Other resources in the Solutions Center include handbooks, guides, ROI reports, articles and a globalization bookstore. All of the resources are aimed at facilitating the process of going global and localizing one's products and services.
