Documenting Software for the World with Agile Demands
Free Online Presentation Features Special Guest Mike McKenna, Globalization Manager at Yahoo! and
Focuses on Internationalizing and Documenting Code in an Agile Environment
BOULDER, CO – September 1, 2010 – acrolinx GmbH, the world’s leading provider of Information Quality
Management software, and Lingoport, a leading provider of software internationalization tools and
software localization and internationalization consulting services, announced today that the two
companies will present a live Webinar, Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010, titled “Writing and
Documenting Software for the World with Agile Demands.”
Entering new global markets can be highly rewarding, yet companies are often faced with cutting costs
and rapidly deploying high quality products. In order to succeed in today’s challenging business
environment, global companies need to embrace more efficient content authoring processes and often
look for tools to assist in this process.
Adam Asnes, Lingoport President and CEO, notes, “Software companies frequently realize more than
50% of their sales revenue from markets outside of their home market. Yet the process of engineering
and localizing software releases often remains a ‘tail end’ process, with all kinds of clean up, delays and
costs.” He continues: “When combined with an agile cycle of rapid releases, companies often face the
challenge of keeping code internationalized and well documented.”
Tony Ehrens, VP of Solutions at acrolinx, adds, “By streamlining content development at the beginning
of the production lifecycle agile companies can release product documentation in multiple languages for
less cost.”
As part of this Webinar, software authoring, internationalization, and globalization experts Kent Taylor
of acrolinx, Adam Asnes of Lingoport, and Mike McKenna of Yahoo! will share their views and discuss a
variety of best practices, including:
Decreasing production time for documentation with reuse
Decreasing translation costs by decreasing the amount of documentation
Integrating internationalization into the software and content development cycle
