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!

AAC solution:

• Collecting source terms and producing language equivalents: AAC term work
• Term maintenance and easy updates provided

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.

Terminology must be made easily accessible or it won't be used!

AAC solution:

• AAC MOT Gateway or GlobalTerms
