Does this sound familiar: Someone requests to integrate a new system managing some sort of content into the documentation and/or localization process.
We will share some user stories about automating this interface. And ask ourselves the question: Why do we keep re-inventing the wheel? Why is there no standard? And we will present some initiatives that the industry has seen to build exactly this. The latest one is the TAPICC initiative by GALA, which we will present in more detail. We will also take a closer look at the COTI standard.
Join us for use cases containing answers to the following questions:
- When does it make sense to consider automated interfaces?
- What factors should I consider?
- How do I manage stakeholders’ expectations and technological possibilities?
