Global Information Management and Life Sciences

This SDL White Paper looks into how the multilingual dimension of product information management can be severely underestimated by the emerging initiatives. It outlines recommendations for implementing a Global Information Management (GIM) platform to support PIM: beginning with global XML. This is the vision to store information in an XML language–and then replicate it in multiple languages across multiple channels of communication. A key contributor to the success of a GIM platform is the ability to manage consistent terminology across dispersed chunks of information. The paper examines this, as well as looking at the real-world experiences of a world leading European pharmaceutical company using a GIM platform.

In this White Paper you will learn about:

• Multilingual Content and Life Sciences
• Structured Product Labeling (SPL)
• PIM versus SPL
• Translation Content Reuse
• Translation Reuse Accelerates End-to-end Process
• Strengthening the Negotiation Position during the QRD Cycle
• The Race to Translate with PIM’s Centralized Procedure
• Business Process Automation
• Benefits of Global XML in the Labeling Contexts
