Our quickTerm Vision
quickTerm is a life cycle management system for terminology based on SDL MultiTerm or Acrolinx. The objective of quickTerm is to:
- ▪
- Efficiently roll out terminology across an enterprise so that it reaches its target groups in an acceptable form
- ▪
- Present terminology in an intuitive and easily accessible manner for general users
- ▪
- Provide direct access to terminology databases and other search providers from Windows applications as well as web browsers and smartphones
- ▪
- Establish a solid foundation within an enterprise for the development and coordination of terminology
- ▪
- Extend the scope of the terminology to all relevant languages with a global, collaborative workflow
- ▪
- Raise awareness of and keep the termbase constantly in the minds of colleagues through regular light-hearted tactics such as recommended entries, entry of the week, term quiz, etc.
quickTerm achieves its objectives by:
- ▪
- Providing terminology quickly from any Windows application by pressing a hotkey (only when the quickTerm Client is used).
- ▪
- Enabling terminology to accessed easily via a web browser, from tablets (quickTerm Web) or smartphones (quickTerm Mobile)
- ▪
- Allowing new terminology to be suggested, feedback on existing entries to be provided, change and translation requests to submitted
- ▪
- Allowing the approval process to take place "virtually" and collaboratively online, on a smartphone, or in the quickTerm Client
- ▪
- Allowing "edit tasks" to be managed by the relevant specialists
- ▪
- Supporting translation processes, including reviewing and approval loops
quickTerm and Acrolinx
quickTerm can be tightly integrated with Acrolinx, too. There are 2 ways you can pass term requests ("Proposed terms") from Acrolinx users to quickTerm:
- ▪
- Proposed terms can be imported in regular intervals into the term request list of quickTerm
- ▪
- Starting with Acrolinx 4.1, calling the "propose term" feature of Acrolinx can take you directly to the term request dialog of quickTerm.
