The challenge

Code
Software localisation
eDiscovery
Technical terminology
Speed
Quick turnaround

As ADP were expanding into new markets abroad with the iHCM EMEA product, it was essential for the company to localise their software and supporting documentation in order for all local teams to fully engage with the system. It was always ADP’s intention to market a multi-national product, but without translation, this simply would not have been possible.

It became quickly apparent that translations into a select few appropriate languages was becoming more and more necessary.

ADP went out to tender for a new translation provider, and Capita TI came out on top, due to their in-depth understanding of technical software localisation, as well as their competitive rates. When scored against other language service providers, Capita TI came out on top by a significant margin.

How we helped

Translation into 4 languages
Transfer
Flexible approach
C
Dedicated team

Capita TI quickly helped localise ADP’s iHCM EMEA product into German, Dutch, French and later Italian. ADP can now market their product overseas with maximum impact.

Capita TI and ADP established a commercial agreement, allowing for a greater level of flexibility, and a generous rebate scheme based upon the volume of translations produced. By working together on a regular basis, providing translations for ADP’s agile software development cycles and remaining in close contact throughout the year, Capita TI have an in-depth understanding of ADP’s business requirements, and are able to meet these, thanks to a flexible way of working.

Capita TI also implemented a dedicated project management team, who are on hand to support ADP’s tactical and strategic objectives.

The result

ADP’s clients have come to expect localised software as standard, so with the help of Capita TI, ADP are able to maintain a large pool of satisfied customers. ADP are now successfully marketing their product in Germany, the Netherlands and the UK, with a roadmap for further expansion into other EMEA markets.
