Data mining – yes, but when?

Document alignment or extraction of terms from existing bilingual documents is used to fill translation memories or termbases with an initial set of entries. This work often has to be done in addition to the daily business and can be a time consuming process. Also, you should do it with a considerable amount of care as you do not want to end up with a whole bunch of wrong entries in your new databases or render a hugh database useless with a large number faulty entries! Often enough you need to move data records from an old system to the new system - data migration and conversion always comes with a certain risk to lose valuable data records.

For the best results you may want to rely on us. We work out the most efficient data migration path with minimal to no loss of data. As a result, you save time and money as you can concentrate on your daily business be sure to get consistent databases back from us.

Just one last word ...

... about data maintenance, which is an inevitable necessity when it comes to linguistic databases. TMs and termbases tend to grow quickly, however, any database is only as good as its entries. We can help you efficiantly maintaining your data and make sure that it is always in good shape.
