Why Partner with Rubric
We have extensive structured content experience. In our 30+ years we have partnered with global companies across diverse industries. We can work with all structured content types and tools, including XML DITA and MadCap Flare.
We offer an end-to-end service. We can handle aspects of your localization, including platform integration, multimedia, desktop publishing, engineering and quality assurance.
We love technology. Technology has always been a core part of how we work at Rubric. We recommend the tools and tech best suited to each client's business and content—including AI tools and Machine Translation where appropriate.
We are agile and flexible. We can keep up with your changing needs. We will design a process to meet your needs—meaning we deliver quality content on-time, on-budget, and on-schedule.
We understand that reaching a global audience requires much more than just translation. We partner with our clients to think strategically about global content. We look across all phases of the content lifecycle to optimize content authoring, localization processes, and tooling.
We reduced processing time by 99% and release time by 6 weeks
For a high-volume, multilingual, global content strategy:
- Streamlining your localization process is crucial.
- A clean, repeatable process dramatically reduces processing time.
- Content optimization is not an option. It’s a necessity.
- Consistency in content and structure leads to easier scalability.
- 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."
