Case Study
The Challenge
DePuy, a Johnson & Johnson company, are a global healthcare organisation and have been successfully partnering with thebigword for the last 10 years. The very technical nature of DePuys products calls for highly specialised translation. Product information was held on separate databases across the world and this necessitated a lengthy process to co-ordinate the various languages together into one document, avoiding the obvious potential for inconsistency.
The Solution
thebigword and DePuy have worked together to devise and implement a system which will amalgamate all the various global databases of information into a single central source. With a database of labelling information consisting of over 15,000 fields in 16 different languages, thebigword ensures that any new term is automatically validated and added to the database, ensuring that this is always up to date and 100% accurate.
