The LTC Organiser is a unique and innovative business process management and workflow control software system, which supports and facilitates multilingual projects. It was developed according to the requirements of The Language Technology Centre`s comprehensive multilingual activities, and reflects years of experience in managing interpreting, language training, large scale multilingual translation and software localisation projects. This software is therefore of considerable use to Language Industry worldwide. It ensures transparency in organisations of any size and reduces management time and costs by up to 50%.

The LTC Organiser is currently available in 4 editions:

• The Freelance edition is specifically designed for independent translators: the supplier module is not available, thereby giving the user more time to concentrate on managing projects and finances. At a much lower price, everyone can afford it!
• The Agency edition is ideal for medium sized translation offices or translators collaborating together. Available on a MS Access database, it gives access to all the modules of LTC Organiser. Unlimited number of licences can be networked.
• The Corporate edition is aimed at larger scale operations, offering the same functionality as the Agency version, it also includes an MS SQL database, access to LTC Web Interface, and Security management, with unlimited licences as well.
• The Web edition has all the features of the Corporate version, while also making it possible to manage projects from distributed sites thus allowing clients and suppliers direct access to their own records, and providing access to up-to-date information while YOU are on the move.

You can upgrade to a higher edition at any time, so that the system grows with your business!

The LTC Organiser identifies appropriate suppliers (interpreters, translators, authors, tutors, DTP specialists...) for high level needs. Language tasks can be allocated quickly and effectively to experts in highly specific subject areas. The status, the progress and the cost of projects as well as actions required and taken can be controlled via the LTC Organiser. The client database is another feature of the LTC Organiser. It enables you to store all relevant client information, including client specific details or requirements. The Project Management feature keeps track of projects, and documents within projects, at the different stages of development. It achieves this by recording the status, and various versions of source and target texts, during each phase up to completion of the target language product.

Any enterprise of the language industry will thus be in a position to cut down on their management effort, cost and time. Smaller organisations will be able to compete with larger organisations, guaranteeing the clients a professional, high quality service including timely and cost-effective planning and handling of all orders with a very small in-house team.

Larger companies can work from multiple sites on the same projects, sharing the same database of client and supplier. The work is uniform and regular, the transparency is ensured.

LTC also provides Agency, Corporate and Web editions of LTC Organiser: you can upgrade to a higher edition at any time, the system grows with your business!
