SolidWorks R&D
organization began to look at outsourcing some
of its localization during 1997. SolidWorks
Corporation was growing rapidly in terms of
customers, market opportunities, employees and
revenue. The growth was both domestic and
international.
More languages were being added and supported
each year. The goals for SolidWorks were to find
an outsourcing localization partner that could
deliver quality translations for the mechanical
CAD sector. At the same time, the requirements
for an outsourcing partner included on time
delivery during very compressed software
development cycles, demanding flexibility as
milestones were nudged or shifted significantly
and required the outsourcing partner to work
side-by-side with our in-house native language
engineers who simultaneously produced localized
materials – all at a competitive and reasonable
cost structure.
After ten years of partnership with GlobalVision,
SolidWorks can clearly attest to the success of
the working relationship. Every shipment of
SolidWorks CAD software, whether a major release
or one of numerous Service Packs, has been
delivered in English as well as all supported
languages. The quality of the language
translations has been high, on time delivery has
been exceptional, cooperative input from
GlobalVision to improve glossary terminology and
suggestions to improve process and tools has
been instrumental in seamlessly building our
localization team.
GlobalVision staff as well as the 14 SolidWorks
native language engineers supports SolidWorks
products in 13 languages including four double
byte Asian languages, Russian, Czech, German,
French, Italian, Spanish and Polish.
Without any reservation, SolidWorks R&D has
found the relationship to be stress free of
administrative issues, cooperative in all
aspects, shared ownership of the deliverables
including completeness, accuracy, quality and
timeliness and seamless in daily operations. And
lastly, cost has been and continues to be below
competitive market rates.
