Project visibility and management
StreamNET™ extranet simplifies information sharing
Without a central repository for communications, large, complex projects can fail to meet important deadlines and approvals. To ensure successful communication flow, Rubric gives clients the benefit of StreamNET™, a collaborative extranet that allows all team members to view all project information in real time and from any computer.
By streamlining the sharing of information, StreamNET:
- Provides global access. Members of your localization and translation team always have access to the latest project information, from anywhere in the world.
- Simplifies scaling. StreamNET uses XML to generate accurate, consistent, and up-to-the-minute information that can support an unlimited number of products and target languages.
- Facilitates language management. Global teams stay in sync linguistically with glossaries, style guides, and other resources.
- Expedites file transfers. Files may be uploaded and downloaded through StreamNET using a Web browser or any FTP application.
StreamNET gives your team members complete and transparent access to:
- Project schedules
- Weekly status reports
- Status-report archives
- Minutes of key meetings
- Post-production log files
- FTP access instructions
- Library of globalization resources
- Contact information

Rubric's WorldServer — your distributed localization tool
When Rubric begins work, your localization project is created on the Rubric WorldServer suite. Within this environment, all Rubric teams around the globe interact in a uniform project management environment, assuring every detail of your localization effort is visible, trackable, and efficiently automated.
You can optionally have your staff access our WorldServer software and participate directly in the project management. This extends Rubric's already near-real-time reporting of project issues and status. It also gives your localization team direct import/export capabilities for the translated content.
Rubric using your WorldServer installation
For large enterprises, Rubric's WorldServer expertise gives us the ability to work closely with your teams within your established WorldServer environment. Rubric project managers and translators become a natural and seamless extension of your internal localization staff.
