Toulouse, June 18, 2007. TechWord, a company that
specializes in software localization and technical
translations, has seen its SAP certification renewed
for two years for the language combinations English/French
and German/French.
SAP has an auditing and certification program that
enables it to analyze its translation partners'
financial and operational structure, as well as
their processes and performance. It also enables
SAP to identify vendors that can offer it and its
partners the resources that fit their translation
requirements best.
Following the initial audit in 2005, TechWord became
the first translation partner in France to be certified
by SAP.
The certification consists of different steps,
one of which is an audit carried out at the partner's
facilities, as well as of a continuous performance
control system. TechWord's audit was performed at
Labège in April 2007 by G. Meijering and
Irma van den Berg of SLS (SAP Language Services).
TechWord's organization, recruiting, training, project
management, and QA processes were carefully assessed
and documented. The audit enables TechWord to show
the quality of its organization as well as that
of its internal processes.
"We've been working with SAP since 1996. The
renewal of our SAP certification clearly illustrates
the excellence of our services. I'm sure that SAP
was happy to see that we were able to keep the quality
of our processes and our company at such a high
level, and that we were also able to process the
comments they had during the last audit. It was
fundamental for us that we retain our strengths
and improve on what could be perceived as our weaknesses.
This is something I believe SAP pays a lot of attention
to," explains Laurent Legallais, General Manager
of TechWord.
"I would also like to thank the whole team,
from the project managers to the translators, for
this great achievement. We never would have been
certified without them."
TechWord specializes in software localization and
technical translations. With more than a decade of
industry experience, TechWord has the skills required
to help its customers market their software products
in France and across Europe. TechWord’s professionalism,
organization, and internal and external teams have
enabled the company to attract and retain some of
the industry's biggest players.
