thebigwordGroup Releases LanguageDirector™; For The First Time Customers Can Direct Their Own Translation Solution

New York, NY – thebigwordGroup, a global translation services company, announces the launch of the LanguageDirector™ platform, the first complete translation management system which integrates technology, people and processes into one solution. With a modular design offering three versions, LanguageDirector™ users can effectively direct their own translation projects from three core components of functionality - access to language services, project control and visibility as well as industry-recognized language technology.

As a flexible, dynamic and scalable platform, companies looking for a simple way to manage all language projects from within their organization can now choose from three versions of LanguageDirector™: Standard, Enterprise and Advanced. The new platform enables clients to centralize access to language services throughout their organizations, including translation, localization, interpreting (in person or via telephone) and language consulting. Utilizing Language Technology, recognized in the translation industry, companies can determine and control workflow and business processes relating to their language projects by accessing services from multiple vendors.

“Unlike alternatives, such as a GMS solution which is just software based, LanguageDirector™ combines the right people, the best processes and leading language technology into one single platform. It was our goal to create a revolutionary new platform by bringing together the best of breed in the translation industry,” commented Chris Ball, CEO of thebigwordGroup.

Ball continued, “Existing global management systems to date are rigid and force companies into a solution that may have components they don’t want or need. Avoiding the ‘square peg in a round hole syndrome’, LanguageDirector™ ensures that companies only pay for what they need providing a solution that can evolve and develop as requirements change. Reflected in the name, we want clients to direct what they want in a GMS solution. Bottom line, LanguageDirector™ is like a GMS only better, cheaper and more flexible.”

LanguageDirector™ is hosted on demand via a ‘software as a service’ (SaaS) model, providing rapid implementation and negating the need for a company’s infrastructure. LanguageDirector™ is also significantly differentiated on price in the language management software space. At a fraction of the price of GMS alternatives, LanguageDirector™ provides an affordable alternative in an ever price sensitive and competitive marketplace, Never before has any language service provider been able to offer this degree of functionality so competitively to those looking to intelligently manage their language projects.
