Content quality is a great example of the all-too-common disconnect between strategy and execution.

On the one hand, companies say, "The quality of our content is really important to us. We know it's relevant to meeting business goals and objectives. Who doesn't want good quality content?"

On the other hand, they say, "But it's too hard to make everyone do it. We can't make a business case for investment. Sure, we get complaints, but that's what customer support is for. Why isn't okay quality good enough?"

Many organizations fail to understand the true impact of mediocre or poor quality content on their business goals and objectives. Everyone who interacts with customers, prospects, employees, partners, and regulatory agencies pays the price. How can you eliminate the poor quality tax?

Content quality doesn't have to be the stuff of wistful thinking. This webinar explains how to get beyond wishing to actually achieving content quality with proactive (but non-intrusive) management.

At last year's Localization World conference in Berlin, we heard a terrific case study presentation by Voith, a German industrial manufacturer serving paper, energy, mobility, and service markets. The session was introduced by Daniel Nackovksi from Across Systems, Voith's language technology partner. Nackovksi commented that while the integration of content management and translation management was critical to Voith's content globalization strategy, the use of XML was the real key to the company's accelerated creation of multilingual product content. Ah, music to our ears. We remember thinking what a great webinar the Voith story would make . . .

In this webinar, Voith share its formula for success with multilingual product content creation and delivery. Voith is one of the Europe's largest family-owned businesses, with sales of EUR 5.1 billion. Voith machines produce more than one-third of the world's paper, and its generators and turbines generate more than 30% of the electric energy generated worldwide by hydro power. Learn how content management, translation management, and smart content drive customer satisfaction for Voith and its customers.
