SCALABLE TECH PUBS LOCALIZATION

Tech Pubs is complicated!

We know, and we're here to help make the process of creating global-ready content easier.
With 30+ years experience, we know how to build a Tech Pubs localization process that works at scale—eliminating waste, reducing cost, and streamlining workflows.
THE RUBRIC DIFFERENCE

If you've tried other providers in the past…

Before our clients come to us, they have sometimes been burned in the past. Because Tech Pubs content comprises complex authoring at scale, when it goes wrong it can go very, very wrong—missed deadlines, significant overspend and unhappy customers.
But when it goes right there are huge opportunities to automate and streamline processes, improve consistency, reduce waste, and make long-term, scalable improvements.
Our expert team will partner with you to understand your content ecosystem, your tools and your needs. Then we'll work to build a process that delivers what you need—quality content, on-time and on-budget.

We reduced processing time by 99% and release time by 6 weeks

For a high-volume, multilingual, global content strategy:
  1. Streamlining your localization process is crucial.
  2. A clean, repeatable process dramatically reduces processing time.
  3. Content optimization is not an option. It’s a necessity.
  4. Consistency in content and structure leads to easier scalability.
  5. Consistency also reduces costs.

"Prior to changing to Rubric, I would spend a week and a half pre-processing files for translation. With Rubric, that reduced to 10 minutes. When we got the translations back from the previous vendor, it would take 1 to 3 weeks per language to post-process and publish. With Rubric that reduced to a few hours."

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL

What makes Rubric different?

Bespoke tools & technology

Technology has always been a core part of Rubric. We understand that the tech landscape is ever-changing. That's why our proprietary suite of automation tools are developed to work seamlessly with any content type, any platform and any technology.
Let us do the heavy lifting—orchestrating the tools best suited to your global content (including AI and Machine Translation), to deliver content on-time, on-budget and on-brand.

The personal touch

Rubric is an employee-owned company and our ethos is human-at-the-core. Unlike some other providers, you won't get passed around between departments or deal with machines rather than humans.
Your dedicated Program Manager will partner with you to understand your global content strategy, your content corpus, the level of quality you require, your budget constraints, and deadlines. They will then design an orchestration solution that works for you.

Making better use of budget

We aren't the cheapest localization provider. We don't choose a team based on price alone. We value experience and expertise, which comes at a cost.
Instead, we deliver long-term savings to our clients by improving content authoring, reducing waste, introducing orchestration, automation, tooling and progressive enhancement. We work smarter and pass the savings onto you—helping you get more from your localization budget.

Always agile

We don't need you to change the way you work. Over 30+ years our tech solutions have constantly evolved to best serve our clients' needs. We embrace new technologies such as AI and MT to optimize and adapt your global content.
Our approach to localization is inherently scalable. Our tools are designed to work with any TMS, platform, or content type. We plug straight into your current localization tools and processes—and make them work better.

Exceptional quality

We know that quality is key.
We also know that in an age of Gen-AI and Machine Translation, quality means different things to different people.
We always put your needs at the heart of what we do, ensuring we understand—and then deliver—what you and your organization need. Continuous improvement and innovation is in our DNA.

More than just translation

Rubric delivers more than simply translation & localization services. We are a partner, not a vendor—this is rather unique among localization service providers.
We become embedded in your company’s content processes, working across departments to orchestrate your global content initiatives. We can advise on your localization roadmap, content authoring, pipeline optimization, content strategy, and more.

We help our clients reduce costs by working smarter

We understand that choosing a localization provider is a big decision. Our offering goes beyond that of many of our competitors.
We work across teams and departments to become an integral part of your global content workflows. From authoring through to publishing, we help our clients cut costs by reducing waste, introducing automation, and working smarter.
This means our clients stay with us for the long-term because we offer exceptional value.
