Case Study: Konica Minolta achieves 35% translation cost savings and faster time-to-market across 30 countries and 27 languages with RWS (SDL Managed Translation)

Konica Minolta Streamlines Translation Processes Across 30 Countries and 27 Languages

Konica Minolta Business Solutions Europe GmbH, headquartered in Langenhagen, Germany, needed to centralize and streamline translation for its European operations across more than 30 countries. The company sought a trusted partner to integrate with its existing CMS, reduce duplication and costs, simplify workflows for local website administrators, and support translations of website and offline marketing materials into 27 languages.

Konica Minolta implemented SDL Managed Translation as a hosted, centrally managed platform that integrates with their CMS and includes training for users. The rollout enabled quick translation and publishing across 30 countries and 27 languages, cut aggregate translation costs by 35% in the first year, reduced time to market for centrally created content, and improved content editor efficiency—while paving the way to onboard more countries and departments.
