Across Systems

Across Systems is the manufacturer of the Across Language Server, translation management software that provides computer-assisted translation and includes a translation memory, a terminology management system, and project management and translation workflow control tools. The company has headquarters in Karlsbad, Germany with a significant base in Glendale, California. Its clients include Volkswagen, Wilcox Metrology, Siemens and SMA Solar Technology, among others.
The product was developed in 2000 and launched in Europe in 2003. In 2005, Across Systems GmbH was spun-off from Nero AG, and the crossGrid collaboration technology was introduced, as was a "Personal Edition" of the software for freelance translators. Further development of the software took place in the following two years. In 2008 Across Systems, Inc. was established in the United States.
The core Across product is the Across Language Server, which serves as a central platform for all language resources and translation processes within a company. Its open architecture allows the integration of authoring, machine translation or quality assurance and proofing as well as customer-specific systems. Open interfaces enable direct integration of corresponding systems like CMS, PIM, or ERP solutions. All parties involved - project managers, internal translators, editors, external localization service providers and freelancers have access to the same reference data and translation memory system, and project managers can track status of each project. This consistency of data is designed to increase the quality of documents and enable fast turnaround on translation of materials.
Across is the only major language tools technology provider whose core business is software development. The system is available as a conventional purchased license or as a hosted service based on the ASP or SaaS model.
