Documentation and localization projects involve complex communication and workflow processes. Writers, copy editors, technical editors, proofreaders, graphics artists, indexers, desktop publishers and possibly translators or localizers work together in a team communicating and exchanging documents electronically to deliver the final product. Biblioso can help you manage these complicated work scenarios in an efficient and cost-effective way.
Through Biblioso you can:
- Streamline communication processes by replacing unmanaged e-mail communication paths through managed project discussion forums.
- Benefit from document management and versioning based on Biblioso's intrinsic document libraries and backup procedures.
- Optimize workflow processes through precise task definitions in a central project plan.
- Get reliable project completion estimates and obtain exact status information on literally all project activities in real-time.
Biblioso's recipe for success is based
on editorial, localization and production processes outlined
in Appendix B of The Chicago Manual of Style (University of
Chicago Press). By building upon these processes, Biblioso combines
known and proven methods with technology for a systematic and
comprehensive management approach. Using a formal management
structure and providing real-time status to all project members,
Biblioso coordinates workflow processes and maximizes the chances
of project success.
Using formal project management methods
and tools increases project success. A "CHAOS" study conducted
by The Standish Group International, Inc., showed that over
60% of successful projects rely on project management tools.
On the other hand, over 70% of challenged projects (that is,
over-budget or over the time estimate) did not use a formal
project management methodology.
With Biblioso, you can maximize your chances for successful project completion.
