Communicate more successfully with the right terminology
Is that an “aluminium wheel rim” or an “alloy wheel rim”? Is it spelled “aluminium disc wheel” or “aluminum disc wheel”? And what do customers call it when they search for this product online? Does your SAP system post the order under the same name?
Terminology is an important means of conveying information within an organisation. It can also take up a lot of time when lots of different terms are used for one and the same product across different areas of the company and in different languages. Companies that use defined, standardised corporate and technical language communicate more effectively with colleagues and customers alike. So it’s no surprise that three quarters of companies surveyed are currently interested in terminology management.

Three quarters of all companies are interested in terminology management
Statistically, when you’re writing a document, the greatest cost involved when you’re searching for just the right term to use is time. Making later corrections to the document and translated versions is not only time-consuming, but also very costly. This is why it is so important to define terminology before creating documents and having them translated. Keeping the terminology up-to-date will also minimise time and costs in the long term. So it comes as no surprise that three quarters of companies surveyed in a recent tekom study actively engage in terminology work and terminology management.
