Update: Gilbane Research Project
The Gilbane Group report Lasselle-Ramsay is sponsoring, "The Global Content Value Chain" is on track to be completed and available in June. Results of the study will be presented through a panel at The Gilbane Conference in San Francisco June 2 - 4: http://gilbanesf.com/.
The study takes a deep dive into multilingual product content, including technical documentation, pre- and post-sales marketing materials, online help, training curriculum, and customer support materials. The purpose of the study is to help adopters "get it right" by learning from best - and worst - practices, and by understanding which investments offer the best potential ROI for their companies today and tomorrow.
