SDL LSP Partner Program

Achieving a Competitive Edge

The SDL LSP Partner Program is a strategic business innovation where both Language Service Providers (LSPs) and SDL can benefit.

By leveraging each others' core competencies and developing joint value propositions for clients, the SDL LSP Partner Program fosters business relationships that allow SDL and translation companies to work together in a mutually beneficial way.

If you are in the localization services industry, one of the few things you can count on is that global enterprise customers will never let up their demands for faster, better and cheaper service in an environment of increasingly sophisticated client technology platforms. Because when it comes to getting ahead on a worldwide scale, timely and cost-effective delivery of locally relevant, language-specific information is critical.

For language service providers, this creates an opportunity: To address the escalating demands of the global enterprise with greater ease and efficiency. Expertise in Global Information Management (GIM) technologies and practices empowers vendors to execute high quality localization projects faster and at a lower cost.

The SDL LSP Partner Program offers language service providers the opportunity to enhance and promote their expertise in a broad range of GIM technology solutions. Additionally, the program promotes unique alliance-building opportunities to grow business and increase revenue while enhancing competitive offerings to clients.
