The Problem

Before Acrolinx was introduced, the quality of SAP’s product information varied widely. Because employees around the world were creating content in two source languages (English and German) – sometimes even in the same document – customers often perceived their content as disjointed. SAP wanted to establish a standard to enable them to speak with one voice.

The Solution

Acrolinx automatically checks the content for terminology, spelling, grammar, and style, and guides writers to make improvements. Acrolinx incorporates detailed style rules and integrates with a wide array of writing tools. The resulting content is more readable, more consistent, and feels like it comes from one company.

We introduced Acrolinx because this product offered the most scope for customization to meet our specific requirements. You can incorporate very detailed and specific style rules into the language checking.
