Klish Group Joins Lionbridge CMS Alliance Program
Fluint® Connector Module Integrates Freeway to Interwoven TeamSite; Streamlines Translation and Content Processes for Managing Global Content Distribution
BOSTON, November 28, 2007 - Gilbane Content Management Conference - Lionbridge Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: LIOX) today announced that Klish Group Inc., a technology services and solutions company focused on delivering Enterprise Content Management capabilities, has joined Lionbridge's Content Management System (CMS) Alliance Program. As a leading CMS system integrator, Klish Group is working with its clients to integrate Freeway™, Lionbridge's translation management platform, into their CMS installations using Klish Group's Fluint® connector for Interwoven's TeamSite. This connection enables companies to integrate translation with existing business workflows, utilize Klish Group's proprietary Touchless Translation™ capability to pre-configure translation parameters, and further simplify translation processes.
Klish Group works with customers to design, develop, and deliver solutions to help manage and organize content. The Fluint solution, which provides a seamless connection between content management systems and content translation providers, currently supports Interwoven TeamSite implementations, with additional platforms coming soon. As a member of the Lionbridge CMS Alliance Program, Klish Group has deployed its Fluint Connector for the Interwoven TeamSite CMS platform at several large Fortune 500 organizations. Integration of Freeway with Fluint allows content managers to more easily track global content projects without requiring additional translation management software or the creation of new workflow processes to globalize materials.
"In our experience guiding companies through their CMS deployment, we have determined that, wherever possible, companies should leverage the existing content workflows developed for the CMS deployment and extend them to encompass global content delivery," said Bill Klish, President, Klish Group. "Our connector exposes the native management capabilities of the CMS, allowing customers to manage their global content processes directly from within the CMS platform, rather than layer on additional translation management software and workflows."
"We have worked with Klish Group on very large and complex CMS deployments that demonstrate their deep understanding of both content and translation workflows," said Dmitry Grenader, director Technical Product Solutions, Lionbridge. "The Fluint connector is an excellent tool for facilitating the integration between Freeway and several large Interwoven TeamSite implementations, empowering our joint clients to manage their translation processes from within their deployed CMS platform."
Freeway is offered for free to Lionbridge clients and translation partners as the foundation for a disciplined, managed services approach to translation management. By seamlessly connecting to a client's CMS, directly or through a connector, Freeway is helping customers reduce turnaround times, lower the total cost of production, and reach new markets, without investing in additional staff or software licenses.
