Content Management Matters ™

Seems the SDL acquistion of Idiom stirred up a little action in the translation management industry.

thebigworldGroup has set out to offer an alternative to SDL/Idiom that is scalable and has little capital investment on the front end.

hmmm...sounds intriguing.

Global Information Management Solution Provider SDL has announced the acquisition of Idiom Technologies Inc for $21.7m USD (£11.1m*) plus $4.9m USD (£2.5m*) worth of debt and working capital.

Founded in 1998, Idiom Technologies Inc. provides Translation management systems as Software as a Service (SaaS). Their product WorldServer is used by over 60 leading global companies worldwide.

SDL Tridion, a provider of web content management solutions, has launched the newest version of its flagship product, R5.3.

This new version provides improvements to business, system and collaboration processes, along with a new approach to templating.

Web technology company Amaze has just been tapped by the Greater London Authority and the London Development Agency to provide a shared-service content management system for the capital.

Amaze has selected global web CMS purveyor SDL Tridion to do the job.

Recently acquired Tridion, the self-proclaimed global leader in web content management (WCM) software solutions, is making available a new web archiving tool designed to help customers better manage their web content lifecycle.

UK-based SDL International, a leading provider of Global Information Management (GIM) solutions, has solidified an agreement with Tridion, a leading provider of enterprise Web CMS solutions. The EU€ 69 million agreement awaits shareholder approval but is expected to augment the breadth and offerings of SDL's info management solutions significantly.
