| An enterprise
methodology solution, SoftGlobalization® combines a set of tools and services to
provide a complete solution for internationalizing third-party software applications for
the global marketplace. ANALYSIS...
Skandis Systems consultants utilize SoftGlobalization® I18N
AutoDetect tools to automate software application analysis and identify
internationalization issues within the customer's code. These issues are tracked and
documented in detailed design specifications for project management to follow during
implementation.
DEVELOPMENT...
SoftGlobalization® development
services include internationalization as well as product enhancement for added language functionality and
countrization for specific cultural requirements. Our consultants employ SoftGlobalization®
tools for I18N issues, such as, charset and double-byte character handling.
LOCALIZATION...
SoftGlobalization® localization
services include analysis, project management, implementation, glossary and style guide
development and technical translation and review. SoftGlobalization® tools
automate string extraction from code for translation to target languages. The
translations are visually reviewed within the client's application GUI to ensure changes
reflect the size and image requirements made as a result of these translations.

| Who SoftGlobalization® is For |
SoftGlobalization®
meets the internationalization needs of small to large software vendors and organizations. Offered as a turn-key solution,
our engineers will implement the highest quality and most efficient internationalization strategy for your software products.

|
| How SoftGlobalization® Help Users |
| The lack of an
effective internationalization strategy leads to the use of inappropriate coding
techniques in many organizations. Software vendors have engineers dedicated to product
development, but these engineers may not always incorporate international coding
conventions. Each target country has its own language and cultural issues requiring
specific skills and knowledge not necessarily required for engineers proficient in an
English-only environment. Skandis Systems can provide these special skills and
comprehensive knowledge to assist your development, QA and documentation staff to
successfully internationalize your products. Our SoftGlobalization® &
WebGlobalization services are designed to enable companies to make the most of their existing
product development strategy. Skandis Systems integrates internationalization techniques
into the customers' own development and QA infrastructures thereby saving organizations
time and money. Our SoftGlobalization® services makes internationalization an even more effective
strategy for increasing your company's revenue stream.
