Case Study: Siemens Healthineers achieves faster, more consistent global content with Acrolinx

How Acrolinx Helps Siemens Healthineers Create Better Content Faster

Siemens Healthineers, the Erlangen-based medical technology company, faced inconsistent terminology, brand and style usage across globally distributed R&D and documentation teams, leading to long editorial reviews, translation inefficiencies into ~35 languages, and compliance risk. To tackle this, Siemens Healthineers deployed Acrolinx—using the Acrolinx Content Analyzer and Desktop Checker integrated with Microsoft Office and their CMS—to enforce unified language and terminology standards across teams.

Acrolinx’s solution batch-checks large volumes of content and guides writers on prioritized fixes, enabling Siemens Healthineers to check over 5 million words in 2020 with roughly 270 writers, cut editorial review time from three weeks to two days per product line, and save an estimated 2.3 years of human effort in software content creation. The Acrolinx platform also reduced translator queries and translation costs, improved terminology consistency and compliance, and made content clearer and more reusable at scale.
