“We pride ourselves on developing and implementing best-in-class solutions that fulfill our clients’ unique information management requirements,” said Dr. Johannes Scholtes, president of ZyLAB North America LLC. “Integrating Language Weaver software into ZyIMAGE enables us to provide the industry’s most innovative and comprehensive automated language translation solution available on the market today. This solution fits perfectly into our wide portfolio of information access solutions.”
The ZyIMAGE Information Access Platform is a complete XML-based system that provides a robust foundation for the archiving and management of an organization’s information – from paper and electronic documents to e-mail and attachments. The benefit to ZyLAB customers is that they can now extract text from documents, in any format, and automatically translate. The original documents will be linked to the translations. Users can search both the original text as well as the translated text, making it easier to find data they are seeking.
“Our innovative statistical translation technology is a logical fit with ZyLAB’s information access platform. Global companies, investigative organizations and government agencies that translate documents of all formats on a regular basis will benefit from easy access to the data and translations. Our dependable and accurate solution complements theirs to offer their customers a full service information management resolution,” said Kirti Vashee, vice president of sales and marketing, Language Weaver.
