Terminology management is designed to ensure a consensus on specific concepts. It creates and manages company terminology and ensures all employees in the business have access to it. Terms are not only recorded, but also defined and can be accompanied by usage rules as applicable. You can be sure that every team, from procurement to legal, is using appropriate and correct terms.

Terminology work also plays a central role in ensuring that external communications are consistent. A database of terminology means that your marketing team at head office, your sales team in Shanghai or even your freelance translator in Helsinki all have access to the same information as you. Our software tools, TermStar^NXT and WebTerm have the infrastructure to make this possible.

One aspect is to look closely at the individual requirements of your business. Another aspect is to work with controlled terminology processes: We plan and deliver every step from terminology extraction and cleaning to subject and language validation all the way through to release and distribution to employees. So that you can retain oversight, we create terminology guidelines and provide training on terminology work.

We’re happy to bring global employees into the terminology management process, for example, your colleagues based in other countries or local market experts. This way, we can be sure that the terms used in the terminology are also correctly understood in your target market.
