TransPerfect, one of the world’s largest providers of language services and content management technology to the medical device industry, has created a new business division called TransPerfect Medical Device Solutions.

In addition to traditional à la carte services, such as labeling and marketing translations, TransPerfect Medical Device Solutions includes a range of integrated technologies and services for manufacturers’ emerging content needs, including: translation process automation technology; labeling automation solutions; Validated XML publishing systems; guided authoring/author automation; automated website localization; software translation, verification, and testing; formatting/layout services and technology; e-learning development and localization; vigilance and e-clinical technology solutions; multilingual digital media services; and patent, litigation and contract support.

The division’s flagship solution is the EnCompass System for labeling automation. The EnCompass System combines guided authoring, advanced XML content management, and GlobalLink process automation technology for maximum labeling automation and effectiveness.

“With the EnCompass System, device makers can reduce both the cost and risk of their multilingual labeling by over 50 percent,” Miller said.

TransPerfect has global headquarters in New York, N.Y., with regional headquarters in London, United Kingdom, and Hong Kong, China.
