IBM Globalization Software Services provides the
following service offerings from which customer may tailor a program:
Strategy and Design Workshop - For customers moving into new
markets or trying to address new requirements from existing
international markets, this education and planning workshop provides
an overview of the myriad considerations involved in globalizing
enterprise applications. IBM will discuss different approaches to
integrating multi-lingual, customer facing applications with existing
back-end applications. For customers planning a pilot project or the
next step in their globalization initiatives, the workshop will cover
the issues that need to be considered in moving forward.
Architecture or Code Review - This service reviews a
customer's existing data and applications and helps them develop
a strategic plan, identifying the changes needed for their
applications to work worldwide. For customers who have already
launched a globalization initiative, this service can also validate
planned architecture and recommend needed changes.
Application Conversions - For customers who do not have the
in-house Globalization expertise or development resources, this
service uses proven design principles to create and implement a
globalization application design. In the process, IBM helps the
customer establish standards for coding, data interchange, testing,
and a common code library. If IBM is working side-by-side with the
customer's IT team, this service can provide knowledge transfer
throughout the engagement.

aspect of translation, from terminology reviews and content authoring
assistance to designing translation tests, IBM has the right skills
and capabilities to help clients. We are able to provide the assets
and tools to get the job done and provide experienced translation
