“LPoD helps ensure that the right information gets to the right people at the right time. That helps us earn more business.” Travis White, Senior Vice President, Lawson
Lawson delivers software and implementation services to 4000 customer sites in manufacturing, distribution and services industries across 40 countries. Lawson helps customers streamline processes and enhance their business performance, by reducing costs and increasing flexibility.
The Challenge
- Reduce costs of inventory
- Improve the quality of information
- Understanding what actually gets used
- Simplify the translation process
- Improve the quality and timeliness of collateral
The Solution
Lawson implemented XLdoc as LPoD (Lawson Publish-on-Demand). The XLdoc Digital Asset Manager allows users such as sales teams and partner organizations to find and download materials. Using the XLdoc Creation Studio, a marketing manager can create new collateral online or “extract” the original text and “pour in” text in another language. This greatly simplifies the process of translating materials into languages other than English. Certified partners can also add their logos and contact information to Lawson branded materials. All material can be ordered through a worldwide network of printers.
