What would be some reasons for choosing to build, rather than buy a
commercial product/platform?

Is building / owning translation technology every truly strategic to an
organization?

One of the common reasons given for building internal systems is
because of “unique requirements”. Is this legitimate?

Is there a hybrid approach, using off-the-shelf platform technology,
customized via API?

Why is this industry so hesitant to embrace the cloud?

What about:
• security considerations?
• content ownership?
• data protection laws?
How should we mitigate these risks?

Outside of tech companies, how likely are companies able to build
their own translation tech?
To host and maintain their own MT engines?

How costly is ongoing maintenance for custom-built tech?
As content platforms evolve and integrations change, are companies
capable of keeping up with these changes?

Is the organizational change management easier with a home-built
platform or a purchased platform?
How do you mitigate risks of migration and manage change in both
situations, build vs. buy?

In your experience as a buyer, is it better to buy from one vendor or
use multiple vendor products?

How does open source change the decision process of build vs. buy?

Do localization departments actively monitor the vendor and
technology landscape?
How are localization managers educating themselves on the various
offerings on the market?

Are localization departments even given proper budgets and decision
authority to purchase technology?
How might an organization go about getting the necessary budgets
and decision authority?
Are localization managers empowered?

Going forward, do you see more companies building their own
translation technology?
Or are more companies buying off-the-shelf tech?

Knowing when to build or buy software is an ongoing topic that has existed for decades, but answers evolve alongside trends in museum staffing and software business models. How do you respond when vendors and agencies are filling your inbox with listicles on why you should buy their solutions? What if an energetic developer wants to build sharable and open solutions that will require maintainers? How can museums with very different resources and personnel share tactics in a meaningful way?

Presentation at Americas Conference on Information Systems, 2017. Paper abstract: End-user development (EUD) is a strategy that can reduce a considerable amount of business demand on IT departments. Empowering the end-user in the context of software development is only possible through technologies that allow them to manipulate data and information without the need for deep programming knowledge. The successful selection of appropriate tools and technologies is highly dependent on the context in which the end-user is embedded. End-users should be a central piece in any software package evaluation, being key in the evaluation process in the end-user development context. However, little research has empirically examined software package evaluation criteria and techniques in general, and in the end-user development context in particular. This paper aims to provide a method for technology evaluation in the context of end-user development and to present the evaluation of two platforms. We conclude our study proposing a set of suggestions for future research.

IoT and mobile computing are at the heart of many organizations’ digital transformation initiatives. Together, these technologies are enabling enterprises to innovate new business models and solutions that enhance customer and partner interactions, optimize supply chain logistics, and improve operational efficiency. Implementing a scalable and extensible IoT architecture is key for this transformation. WSO2 IoT Server offers an extensible framework for device manufacturers to write plugins for various types of devices they wish to integrate with. Data gathered from devices can be processed with batch and real-time analytics and this data can even be fed into a prediction engine. Devices can be exposed as managed APIs for integration. On top these, it offers a complete enterprise mobility management (EMM/MDM/MAM) solution for enterprises looking to manage employees’ mobile devices. This talk will give you an introduction to the key capabilities of WSO2 IoT Server and discusses how it can be extended to build a scalable IoT architecture.

Many CIO's and IT decision markers remain fascinated with the Open source Philosophy. Once viewed by some within the enterprise as a low-budget option to other proprietary software’s, open-source software has evolved into a strategic asset for many CIOs and IT administrators, earning equal footing in their businesses with proprietary software. But is it the right option for your business? This article tells us that the result to this question is neither art nor science, and offers a brief introduction for decision makers looking to go down the Open Source route for their Business Intelligence Solution.

As contents published on the Internet are becoming more and more dominated by videos, requirements on the language translation have also changed. Specifically, video publishers and distributors have a significant interest in balancing both the translation time and the accuracy. To this end, Pactera has invested in solutions, which leverage machine translation to reduce the overall translation time, and recruit human translators to improve the accuracy in a Wikipedia-like fashion. At Pactera, we aim to help video contents to reach billions of people that were not possible before.

Review processes as the last step in quality assurance workflows are “notorious for causing delays and frustrations”. The reason normally is a flawed process: Many manual steps for the PMs, the lack of intuitive, layout-oriented collaboration software, plus the expectation of review to “fix a broken translation” in the last second rather than giving strategic process input. globalReview shifts this paradigm: As an integrated, collaborative platform with full layout editing it provides a positive review experience. At the same time, it pushes quality upstream applying DQF principles: Flexible content profiles define precise quality expectations; issue categories and scoring effectively gauge and also track translation quality over time; a sampling module allows for fast yet accurate quality evaluation. Put together, this allows the customer to raise the process from painful review to strategic quality management and gain valuable business intelligence.
