Case Study: Arctic Economic Council streamlines global word collections with Progress Software Podio

Arctic Economic Council streamlines 300+ word collections with Progress Software

The Arctic Economic Council (AEC), a small non-profit secretariat, faced the challenge of producing a large-scale book project with hundreds of diverse, global contributors. Their small team needed to efficiently manage, proofread, and translate a vast amount of content without a significant increase in headcount or budget. They turned to Progress Software and utilized the Podio platform to streamline this ambitious initiative.

Progress Software implemented a solution using the Podio platform's automation and integrated AI capabilities. This system automated proofreading, translation into Japanese, and character counting, slashing a process that would have cost tens of thousands of euros down to seconds. The result was a streamlined management of over 300 word collections, significantly reduced project costs, and clear reporting on contributor diversity, all without needing extra staff.
