- 17. Sharing Terminology (MultiTerm Server) Server based Terminology Management: • Concept Based Terminology – Far more than just a glossary – Active and Deprecated Terms – Pictorial Representation – References to external resources via hyperlinks – Multilingual – One term (word) to several concepts, and vice versa • Centralised control of Corporate Terms – Protecting brand across global organisations • Common access across the entire organisation – Enabling access for marketing, tech docs, sales, product development

- 21. Secure Task Assignment on Project Server • Enhanced collaboration for translation teams working with Studio and MultiTerm – Secure task assignment to users using the concept of project phases • Preparation • Translation • Review • Finalisation – Files can move freely within these phases – back and forth as needed – Users can only see the files assigned to them – Permissions based on existing roles based system 21
