Leading ERP Providers Rely on Our English-Italian Translations to Meet the Highest Industry Standards

In 2006, Lawson Software and Intentia merged to form the new Lawson (now fully integrated into INFOR Software), a global company delivering enterprise software solutions and implementation services to more than 4,000 manufacturing, distribution, and service companies across 40 countries.

With over two decades of experience, Lawson Software serves a vast international client base. Its solutions include enterprise applications for business process management, supplier and customer relationship management, supply chain optimization, value chain operations, and decision support tools.

To translate its Movex ERP solution from English into Italian, the company selected our translation agency, securing a reliable partner that provides tailored, high-quality linguistic services for every technical and functional need.

Challenges and Solutions

Meeting ERP translation needs requires a wide range of advanced expertise:

  • Technical – the ability to operate on production platforms
  • Functional – deep knowledge of ERP systems and business management processes
  • Localization – familiarity with local market-specific requirements

Intentia’s complex demands required all of the above, combined with speed (e.g., rapid Service Pack updates) and precision (terminology consistency, glossary control, etc.).

Lawson Software

For over five years, our translation firm has provided Lawson with coordinated, multidisciplinary language services that meet the company’s three core operational requirements:

Technical Capability

We support network-related requirements and translation integration with production environments. In cooperation with Intentia’s IT department, we’ve created custom workflows aligned with their production systems. Our team is proficient in AS/400 systems.

Functional Expertise

We employ translators and reviewers with hands-on experience in implementing ERP solutions across Europe. Their deep understanding of business processes (finance, production, distribution, etc.) ensures optimal accuracy and fluency in all deliverables.

Localization Precision

We ensure region-specific adaptation through expert knowledge of local compliance and linguistic nuance.

Translation-IN also applies a meticulous methodology to every translation and localization project, ensuring efficiency and consistency.

Our team leverages Trados Studio, SDLX, and Passolo to deliver:

  • Significant cost savings through the reuse of pre-translated content and segment repetition detection
  • Faster turnaround thanks to the creation of translation memories, termbases, and customized glossaries
